Understand “stroke”!

Although age is a risk factor for stroke
But it’s happening most of the time
It is often caused by many factors.
Long-term mental tension
People with high blood pressure, people who don’t like sports, etc.
Many unexpected situations
It is the result of long-term influence of many factors.

Today, I will take you to understand “stroke”!

What are the risk factors for stroke?

• 1. People with high blood pressure
  Modern people work under pressure, blood pressure is easy to fluctuate
  Don’t pay attention to blood pressure monitoring, it is easy to long-term high blood pressure without knowing
  The condition was discovered only after a sudden stroke.
• 2. People who don’t love sports.
  Many people think that “not exercising” is not a disease. In fact, “not exercising is very dangerous.” Most Westerners like to exercise and exercise every day, so they have a good stroke control.
• 3. People with big belly
  Studies have pointed out that in the case of the same degree of obesity
  Men with abdominal obesity have a 3-to 5-fold increased risk of stroke
  The risk of stroke in women with abdominal obesity is also greatly increased.
• 4. People with dyslipidemia
  Prevention of stroke, to pay attention to blood lipid indicators
  LPa, LPb values and the ratio of the two.
• 5. People who smoke.
  It is understood that smoking can lead to vascular endothelial dysfunction, increased thrombosis, enhanced inflammatory response and oxidative modification, and increase the incidence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease.

In addition to the above five factors, diabetes, alcoholism, stress, insomnia and depression are also risk factors for stroke.

How do risk factors affect brain vessels?

Stroke is called “stroke”, also known as “cerebrovascular accident”.
Is a sudden onset of cerebral blood circulation disorders disease.
For example, our blood vessels are like water pipes,
The damage of the water pipe is nothing more than two kinds of situations, blockage and breakage.

The same is true of the cerebral vessels, when the cerebral vessels are blocked,
It is called “ischemic stroke”, that is, “cerebral infarction”;
Cerebrovascular rupture, I call it “hemorrhagic stroke”, that is, “cerebral hemorrhage”.

The risk factors mentioned above are the main killers of “breakage & blockage” of cerebral blood vessels.

How do risk factors affect brain vessels?

he long-term existence of risk factors makes the brain blood vessel cells damaged;
and may cause lipid deposits or thrombi in the blood vessels.

As a result, the vascular lumen narrows and thickens, and the blood vessels lose their elasticity.
Eventually the blood flow is blocked.
Unable to transport blood normally, induced ischemic stroke.

In addition, due to vascular cell damage, hardening
When blood pressure rises, it may cause blood vessel damage,
Eventually cause hemorrhagic stroke.

In addition to the subjective risk factors mentioned above
Ambient temperature also has an effect on stroke
As the summer heat, the temperature rises
In addition to being prone to what we often call heatstroke
Also easy to induce stroke oh

Why multiple summer stroke?

Mainly due to the high temperature of the large amount of perspiration makes the blood circulation system
The load increases and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large after the air conditioner is turned on,
Causes abnormal blood pressure, blood vessels may be damaged,
Causing a hemorrhagic stroke.

Therefore, the control of risk factors is the main means of prevention
However, many people think of examination and treatment only after they have the relevant symptoms.
However, stroke, can not wait.

When a stroke occurs, is it “dead or disabled”? !

Once the onset of stroke, the harm can not imagine.
According to epidemiological surveys, more than 80% of stroke patients with natural recovery have obvious disability recovery, of which about 90% lose the ability to take care of themselves, and about 80% lose the ability to walk or lose the ability to walk normally.

Early symptoms of stroke!

• sudden facial, upper and lower limbs or unilateral limb numbness and weakness;
• sudden speech difficulties, or decreased understanding;
• exophthalmos forward vision blurred, black double shadow;
• balance adjustment disorders or walking difficulties;
• suddenly dizzy, feel all motionless things are shaking;
• sudden strong headache, lasting more than 1 hour.

Having said so much, beware of stroke before early symptoms appear.
“Growing quietly” is the top priority,
In addition to changing the bad lifestyle, physical examination is also
Important means of preventing stroke.

We know that stroke and blood, blood vessels, in addition to focus on blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure and other conventional indicators,
recommend there are relevant risk factors of the crowd can take the following two kinds of inspection items:

• 1. Carotid ultrasonography
  Carotid artery is the bridge connecting the heart and brain two important organ structure, carotid artery lesions have a significant impact on stroke. Carotid ultrasound examination can observe the degree of carotid artery stenosis, better and truly reflect the hemodynamic index of carotid artery (blood circulation), which is helpful to the early diagnosis of stroke and can provide the basis for the treatment of patients.
• 2. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound
  According to domestic research, the high-risk groups of cerebrovascular diseases (patients with “three high” and other diseases) have a higher incidence of intracranial artery stenosis, so it is also necessary for intracranial vascular examination.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound can judge the function of blood vessels according to the flow of blood in blood vessels, and has high application value in the diagnosis of cerebral artery stenosis.

In addition, a comprehensive analysis of the results of transcranial Doppler ultrasound by experienced and professional examiners can provide early warning for some patients with only mild symptoms or even asymptomatic subjects.
