After the incident a reporter Serena Branson had a stroke, you may begin to wonder what the cause strokes. With little explanation, hopefully we can understand whether the stroke.
Stroke was divided into two types: ischemic stroke and stroke hemorragik.
Ischemic stroke is blockage of blood vessels that cause blood flow to the brain are partly or fully suspended. 80% of strokes are Ischemic strokes. Ischemic stroke is divided into 3 types,
namely:
1. Thrombotic stroke: the process of thrombus formation that made clotting.
2. Embolic stroke: closure of the arteries by blood clot.
3. Systemic Hipoperfusion: Decreased blood flow to all parts of the body due to an interruption of heart beats.
Hemorrhagic stroke is a stroke caused by rupture of blood vessels of the brain. Almost 70% of cases of hemorrhagic strokes occur in people with hypertension.
There are 2 types of hemorrhagic stroke, namely:
1. Intracerebral haemorrhage: bleeding that occurs in brain tissue.
2. Subarachnoid haemorrhage: bleeding that occurs in the subarachnoid space (a narrow space between the surface layer of the brain and the tissue covering the brain).
Signs and Symptoms of Stroke
Based on its location in the body, symptoms of stroke is divided into the following:
1. Part of the central nervous system: muscle weakness (hemiplegia), stiffness, decreased sensory function
2. Brain stem, where there are 12 cranial nerves: decreased ability to smell, taste, hear, and view the partial or total, decreased reflexes, impaired facial expression, impaired breathing and heart rate, weak tongue.
3. Cerebral cortex: aphasia, apraxia, memory decline, hemineglect, confusion.
If the signs and symptoms disappear within 24 hours, expressed as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), which is a small attack or initial stroke attack.
Stroke Causes
Medical risk factors, including hypertension (high blood pressure), cholesterol, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disorders, diabetes, family history of stroke, migraine.
Behavioral risk factors, such as smoking (active & passive), unhealthy foods (junk food, fast food), Alcohol, Lack of exercise, Snoring, Oral contraceptives, Drugs, Obesity.
80% of the trigger stroke is hypertension and arteriosclerosis, according to statistics. 93% of people with thrombosis disease have anything to do with high blood pressure disease.
The trigger stroke is basically, an uncomfortable mood (angry), too much drinking, smoking and happy eating fatty foods.
Agony Post-Stroke
After a stroke, brain cells die and hematoma which will form gradually reabsorbed. This natural process is completed inside of 3 months. At that time, one third of survivors become dependent and may develop complications that can cause death or disability
It is estimated there are 500,000 people affected by stroke. Of these:
* 1 / 3 -> can be restored,
* 1 / 3 -> experiencing mild to moderate functional impairment,
* 1 / 3 remaining -> suffered severe functional impairment that requires ongoing patient on the mattress.
Only 10-15% of stroke survivors can return to normal life as usual, the rest having disabilities, so that many patients suffer strokes due to disability caused by stress after being attacked by a stroke.
Stroke due to Other:
* 80% reduction in partial / total arm and leg movements.
* 80-90% of problems in thinking and remembering.
* 70% suffer from depression.
* 30% had difficulty speaking, swallowing, distinguish right and left.
Stroke is no longer just attacking the elderly group, However now tend to attack the young generation who are still productive. Stroke is also no longer be owned by citizens of the affluent city, but also experienced by rural residents who live with all the limitations.
