Stroke 3 dangerous types
Stroke 3 Dangerous Strokes with Alarm, Disease Characteristics
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. Many people also understand that the disease occurs only in the elderly, but in reality, Stroke can occur to people of all ages, and is found in more and more people of working age.
What is worrying is that many patients lose the opportunity for treatment because they do not recognize the warning or think that the symptoms will disappear.
In medicine, there is a saying
"Time is Brain."
Every minute the brain is ischemic, many brain cells are permanently damaged.
The sooner it is treated, the greater the chance of surviving and returning to a near-normal life.
What is a Stroke?
Stroke is a condition in which blood feeds the brain, resulting in hypoxia and nutrient damage.
Stroke is divided into 3 major groups, namely
1. Ischemic Stroke
2. Hemorrhagic Stroke
3. Transient Ischemic Attack: TIA
1. Ischemic Stroke
It is the most common type, accounting for about 80-85% of all Stroke cases.
It is caused by blood clots or lipid stains clots, which prevent enough blood from feeding the brain.
Major cause
• Hypertension
• Diabetes
• High blood lipids
• Smoking
• Cardiac arrhythmia, especially Atrial Fibrillation
• Obesity
• Lack of exercise
• Sleep Apnea
Subspecies
Thrombotic Stroke
Caused by blood clots forming inside the cerebral vessels.
Embolic Stroke
It's caused by a blood clot that comes out of the heart or other blood vessels and clogs the cerebral vessels.
2. Hemorrhagic Stroke
It is less common than the stenosis type, but has a higher severity and mortality rate.
It is caused by a ruptured cerebral blood vessel, causing bleeding inside the brain or around the brain.
Key risk factors
• Chronic hypertension
• Aneurysm
• Cerebrovascular abnormalities
• Head accident
• Use of certain anticoagulants
• Smoking
• Drinking large amounts of alcohol
Divided into two kinds.
Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Bleeding inside the brain flesh.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Bleeding the cortical area.
Notable symptoms
• Acute severe headache
• Nausea, vomiting
• Fast seepage
• Unconscious
• Seizure
• Weak limbs
3. Transient cerebral infarction (TIA)
TIA, or Transient Ischemic Attack, is often called the "Mini Stroke."
It is caused by a temporary stroke, causing Stroke-like symptoms, but disappears spontaneously within minutes to no more than 24 hours.
The important thing that many people misunderstand
Even if the symptoms are gone, it doesn't mean it's safe.
TIA is an "early warning sign" that a real Stroke may occur in the near future.
If there are symptoms, TIA should see a doctor as soon as possible, even if the symptoms have returned to normal.
Stroke alarm that everyone should know
Easy to remember with BE FAST
Many stroke organizations currently recommend the BE FAST primary, which covers symptoms better than traditional FAST.
B = Balance
Staggering gait, dizziness, acute loss of balance.
E = Eyes
Immediately blurred eyes, double vision, or partial loss of vision.
F = Face
Half the face falls. The smile is not equal.
A = Arms
The arms or legs are weak. Half-numbered.
S = Speech
Can't speak clearly, can't speak or can't understand.
T = Time
Hurry and call for help and go to the hospital immediately.
The Golden Moments That Save the Brain
For stroke.
The drug dissolves blood clots.
It is most effective when given within 4.5 hours of onset.
Mechanical Thrombectomy
In some patients, treatment can be considered within 24 hours of onset.
So it's more important to rush to the hospital than to wait and see the symptoms.
Silent Stroke, a silence that many people don't realize.
Silent Stroke is a small cerebral infarction that may not show obvious symptoms.
Often detected by brain MRI.
Despite the absence of acute symptoms, it can accumulate long-term brain damage and is associated with
• Regression memory
• Dementia
• Abnormal balancing
• Future Stroke risk
How is Stroke different from Heart Attack?
Many people are confused between the two diseases.
Stroke
Born in the brain from a blockage or rupture of a cerebral vessel.
Heart Attack
Born in the heart from a coronary artery blockage.
Both diseases have similar risk factors, but affect different organs.
Important messages that everyone wants to remember
"Self-healing doesn't mean it's safe."
Especially wry mouth, weak limbs, slurred speech, staggering gait, or abnormal vision. Even if it happens in just a few minutes, a doctor should be rushed to the doctor immediately, because that may be the last chance to prevent the more severe Stroke in the future.
