Dear MEL Topic Readers,
These vascular risks are strongly associated with severe stroke, researchers say
Stroke is the third leading cause of death around the world and kills millions of people each year. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel, which carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain, is locked by a clot, bursts, or ruptures. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs and brain cells die, which don’t usually regenerate. Then the person might become physically and cognitively impaired depending on the damage of the brain cells. According to a new study of over 13,000 patients who suffered a stroke, high blood pressure, smoking, and irregular heart rhythm are linked with a higher risk of severe compared to mild-moderate stroke. A healthy diet, regular exercise, enough sleep, and an active lifestyle all lower the risk of getting a stroke. Smoking, salty food, and high blood pressure are high-risk factors for a stroke. Stroke treatment is very time-sensitive. If you ever experience or notice difficulty smiling, speaking, or raising both arms, you’d better make an emergency call to get treatment. Hesitation won’t solve the problem but makes the brain more damaged.
