Ischemic Stroke is a condition in which a blood vessel in the brain
Which is a blood transport route, is blocked, causing blood to be unable to supply the brain area. This results in brain cells dying and losing their function, leading to neurological symptoms such as paralysis, inability to move various parts of the body, or communication impairments. This depends on the location of the brain that lacks blood supply. If the symptoms are severe, it can cause disability or even death.
What are the causes of cerebral ischemia?
The main cause of “cerebral ischemia” is when blood cannot reach the brain, which is usually caused by 2 important factors as follows:
1. Cerebral infarction due to hardening of the arteries is often caused by old age or by underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high blood cholesterol.
2. Cerebral infarction due to blood clots, such as blood clots caused by an abnormal heartbeat that flow and block a blood vessel in the brain.
However, ischemic stroke may be a “transient condition” or “TIA” (Transient ischemic attack), which is a disease caused by temporary loss of หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล brain function and can return to normal. But if left untreated, it may recur or cause permanent ischemic stroke, causing the patient to become paralyzed or even disabled. And if the symptoms worsen, it can cause death.
How to diagnose patients with cerebral ischemia?
For the diagnosis of patients with ischemic stroke, doctors will use various methods to examine to find risk factors for the disease and to know the type of ischemic stroke that causes it so that they can plan the correct and appropriate treatment. The examination will have the following steps:
1. Taking a medical history, symptoms, chronic diseases, medical history, family medical history
2. Physical examination, brain function tests such as arm and leg strength tests, talking to the patient to assess cognition, and measuring blood pressure, etc.
3. Blood test to check risk factors for disease
4. Electrocardiogram (ECG) because some heart diseases can cause blood clots in the brain.
5. Computerized tomography (CT SCAN) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to find lesions that cause cerebral ischemia.
