Stroke is also called stroke. What caused it?

Brief introduction: Stroke is a group of diseases characterized by cerebral ischemia and hemorrhagic injury, also known as stroke or cerebrovascular accident, which has a very high mortality and disability rate. It can be divided into two categories: hemorrhagic stroke, namely cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis. Cerebral infarction is the most common, with acute onset and high mortality. Stroke is also called stroke. What caused it? Next, let's take a look.

1. What caused the stroke? There are several main reasons for the occurrence of stroke. Because of cerebral atherosclerosis, long-term hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, smoking, alcoholism, obesity and so on. Are the causes of cerebral atherosclerosis. The occurrence of stroke is also related to heart disease. For example, when patients are complicated with atrial fibrillation or rheumatic heart disease or valve disease, it is easy to cause mural thrombus to fall off and cause cerebral embolism. Abnormal intracranial vascular development, such as aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation, are common causes of cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is believed that blood system diseases, such as thrombocytopenia and polycythemia, can lead to stroke in patients. Trauma or poisoning, brain tumor and other reasons can also lead to stroke after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, such as cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage.

Second, how to prevent stroke? Maintain physical and mental health and emotional stability; Reasonable diet, the diet should be low in salt, fat and sugar; Actively intervene the risk factors of stroke, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, homocysteine and uric acid; Actively treat minor stroke. Clinical research shows that the probability of minor stroke within one week can reach 10%, so active intervention in minor stroke is an active means to prevent stroke. The prevention of stroke is mainly divided into primary prevention and secondary prevention. Primary prevention means that patients should start prevention when there is no stroke, such as developing healthy living habits such as losing weight, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, and using some drugs for prevention. Secondary prevention is to prevent recurrence, mainly including controlling risk factors and using drugs for treatment, such as controlling blood sugar in diabetes, controlling blood pressure in hypertension and lowering blood lipid in hyperlipidemia.

Third, the symptoms of stroke Stroke can suddenly appear limb paralysis, which is characterized by difficulty in walking or lifting limbs, and severe cases can't move; There may also be speech disorders, such as abnormal pronunciation and intonation, aphasia, poor language understanding, poor expression ability or difficulty in finding words. Stroke can also cause dysphagia, choking cough, mouth deviation, eye movement disorder, diplopia, dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, mental retardation, mental symptoms and so on.
