A history of stroke or other heart conditions including coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and hypertension among first degree relatives is an important risk factor for stroke

HYPERTENSION:

Hypertension is the crown jewel of stroke prevention and most important modifiable risk factor for stroke. All forms of blood pressure elevation can raise the risk of stroke both systolic and diastolic

In general target to lower the blood pressure below 140-150/90

If there is previous history of stroke better to maintain it below 130/80

Lowering even further reduces the risk even more

THIAZIDE DIURETICS and ACE INHIBITORS are preferred drugs

OBESITY AND DIABETES:

BMI greater than 30 is important risk factor for stroke 

Lower the waist circumference lesser is the chance of stroke occurence as obesity increases insulin resistance. Hypertension is also more common in diabetics

Optimising blood glucose levels is of great significance

SMOKING:

smoking is important risk factor for stroke especially in younger individuals

the risk of stroke begins to revert at about 2 years after smoke cessation and reverts to approximately that to that of non smokers after 5 years of quitting

ELEVATED BLOOD LIPIDS:

several trials have confirmed the use of STATINS in patients with elevated LDL and low HDL reduces the risk of stroke

ASPIRIN can be recommended in low doses for patients above 40-50 if they have familial history of stroke or other cardiovascular conditions

EXCESS ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION INCREASES THE RISK OF BRAIN HEMORRHAGE

SEDENTARY LIFE STYLE AND LACK OF EXERCISE :

according to American college of cardiology guidelines MODERATE TO RIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES PER SESSION AT A FREQUENCY OF 3-4 SESSIONS PER WEEK is recommended

Good thread. 

Stroke ke mundu vachey symptoms entivi? Common ga

sudden onset of any neurological deficit is defined as stroke

the most common symptoms in stroke can be remembered by the mnemonic FAST

FACE: facial weakness, drooping of face to one side, unable to smile or unable to close the mouth and drbbling of food and saliva , drooping of one eye

ARMS: weakness in one arm or leg or both on one side

SPEECH: slurring of speech or unable to speak at all even when awake or unable to comrehend other's speech

TIME: TIME IS BRAIN the call the ambulance immediately if the above signs are noticed because the most common treatment of intravenous thrombolysis is best when performed within 3 hours after onset after that the risk of complications will be higher than the benefit 

as stroke generally occurs during sleep it is impossible to know the time of onset so it means immediate action is required

nenu explain chesindi brain stroke gurinche nothing about heart in previous explaination and for heart you use MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION NOT STROKE

but both have similar risk factors so starting cardiac words unnai ante

@gothamprince help

not in this thread ba

[gothamprince]

the very important think i want to enlighten this DB is there are two major categories of stroke the one which almost everyone aware of is ISCHEMIC STROKE  which basically is decreased blood supply to the areas in the brain by blocks in the blood vessels and the other which most are unaware of is HEMORRHAGIC STROKE which is far more serious and less favourable outcome even after therapy this is bleeding into the brain tissue 

hemmorhagic stroke are two subtypes INTRAPARENCHYMAL and SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE IS MEDICAL AND SURGICAL EMERGENCY THE PATIENT USUALLY PRESENTS WITH SUDDEN ONSET OF SEVERE HEADACHE [SENSATION LIKE THUNDER STRIKING THE HEADACHE, WORST HEADACHE OF THE LIFE],NECK BECOMES RIGID AND PAINFUL USUALLY FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF CONSCIOUNESS

don't believe these articles ba not scientifically reviewed we are talking about stroke which cause irreversible damage to neurons the earlier the thromolysis the more brain you can save

[gothamprince]

all the patients who suffered stroke should also be screened for cardiovascular diseases as the risk for both are very similar
