Often, you can mitigate the worst effects of a stroke by increasing stroke awareness. Luckily, the medical profession’s recent efforts to educate the public about strokes have been very successful.
Experts teach about the earliest signs of stroke and stroke prevention, so people can identify strokes earlier. Subsequently the chances of stroke recovery go up, because individuals get the medical help they need as soon as possible.
Experts sometimes describe strokes as ‘brain attacks’ because they carry many of the risk factors doctors link with heart attacks. For example, risk factors that harden the arteries (atherosclerosis) are:
Alternative causes include a blood clot or even bleeding in the brain due to high blood pressure. No matter the cause, when there’s an interruption, reduction or stop of blood supply to the brain, you’ll have a stroke.
Thankfully, effective and speedy treatment can prevent long-term disability and even save lives.
Ischaemic stroke:
when a blood clot causes a stroke and prevents blood from flowing to the brain. If doctors act in time, they can often treat it with an injectable medication that dissolves the clot before it compromises the brain’s blood supply.
In some cases, they treat it with a surgical procedure called a thrombectomy. They insert a device into a brain artery to remove the blood clot interfering with blood flow. Doctors can also use a combination of medications and surgery.
Haemorrhagic stroke:
If there’s bleeding in or around the brain, a haemorrhagic stroke will take place. Health professionals often find a combined approach to treatment most successful. Firstly, the medication lowers blood pressure and manages the bleeding. Then, surgery is necessary to remove blood from the brain and mend blood vessels.
