STROKE

A stroke is damage to the brain due to an interruption in blood flow. The interruption may be caused by a blood clot (see Embolism; Thrombosis), constriction of a blood vessel, or rupture of a vessel accompanied by bleeding. A pouchlike expansion of the wall of a blood vessel, called an aneurysm, may weaken and burst, for example, because of high blood pressure.
Sufficient quantities of glucose and oxygen, transported through the bloodstream, are needed
The human brain has three major structural components: the large dome-shaped cerebrum (top), the smaller somewhat spherical cerebellum (lower right), and the brainstem (center). Prominent in the brainstem are the medulla oblongata (the egg-shaped enlargement at center) and the thalamus (between the medulla and the cerebrum). The cerebrum is responsible for intelligence and reasoning. The cerebellum helps to maintain balance and posture. The medulla is involved in maintaining involuntary functions such as respiration, and the thalamus acts as a relay center for electrical impulses traveling to and from the cerebral cortex.
Stroke – The brain need a constant supply of blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients it needs to function.
- Blood vessels that carry blood to the brain from the heart are called arteries
- Each arteries supplies blood to specific areas of the brain
- A stroke also known as Cerebro-Vascular Accident occurs when one of these arteries to the brain either is blocked or bursts. As a result, part of the brain does not get the blood it needs, so it starts to die
STROKE DAMAGE
Types
1. An Ischemic stroke
An Ischemic (or dot) stroke occurs when a blood clot obstructs blood flow to a portion of the brain causing severely reduced blood flow (Ischemia) The most common ischemia strokes include
- Thrombotic Stroke – occurs when blood dot (thrombus) forms in one arteries that supply blood to the brain. A dot often may be caused by fatty deposits (plaque) that build up in arteries and cause reduced blood flow or other artery damage.
Type 2 Cerebral Bleeding (Hemorrhagic stroke)
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood vessels in the brain leaks or ruptures.
Mini stroke (Transient Ischemic Attack) (TIA) – also called mini stroke-is a brief episode of symptoms similar to those of a stroke caused by temporary decrease in blood supply to part of brain.
Symptoms of Stroke
- Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, leg or one side of the body. Abrupt of vision, strength, coordination, sensation, speech or the ability to understand speech. These symptoms may become worse over time.
- Sudden dimness of vision, especially in one eye
- Sudden loss of balance, possibly accompanied by vomiting, nausea, fever, hi-ccups or trouble with swallowing
- Sudden and severe headache with no other cause followed rapidly by loss of consciousness, indication of a stroke due to bleeding.
- Brief loss of Consciousness
- Unexplained dizziness or sudden fall
- If the symptoms pass quickly, this may indicate Ischemia attack.
Risk factors
- High blood Pressure
- Cigarettes smoking or exposure to second hand smoke
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Being over weight or obese
- Physical inactivity
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Cardiovascular disease
- Use of some birth control pills or hormone therapies that include estrogen
- Alcohol abuse
- Use of illicit drugs such as cocaine
Factors that cannot be control
- Age
- Race African American
- Gender – More in men
- Family history
Complication
- Temporary or permanent disabilities
- Paralysis or loss of muscle movement
- Difficulty talking or swallowing
- Memory loss or thinking difficulties
- Emotion problems
- Pain
- Change in self-care
Recovery from stroke depends on the extent and location of brain damage. Although about 25% of patients die within the first year of having their stroke, some stroke victims recover fully. But in the vast majority of cases, there is lasting physical or mental disability
Hospital Diagnosis of Stroke
1 Physical examination
Face Ask the person to smile. Does one side face drop
Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Speech Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred?
TIME If any time is important.
2. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain to know whether is ischemic or hemorrhagic
3. Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) Done to find out the amount of damage to the brain and help predict recovery
Other initial recommended for ischemic include
Electro cardiogram (ECG, EKG) and Electrocardiography, in medicine, procedure by which a physician obtains a tracing of the electrical activity of the heart.
1) Electro cardiogram to check for heart including arrythmias . Electro cardiography or EKG detects electrical impulses in the heart and produces real-time record of the activity. An echocardiogram uses ultra sound to construct a visual image of the heart.
2) Blood tests such as complete blood count (CBC) blood sugar, electrolytes, liver and kidney functions and prothrombin (plasma protein: a plasma protein that is converted to thrombin during blood clotting)
3) Carotid ultrasound
4) Cerebral angiogram
Steps against recurrent stroke
- Suppliments
- Control High Blood Pressure
- Quit tobacco
- Maintain a healthy Body weight
- Eat fruits and vegetables
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid alcoholic drinks
- Treat obstructive apnea
- Avoid illicit drugs
- Learn stress management techniques
