What causes stroke
At first warm and cold, human body functions are in the adaptation period, and the attacks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are more frequent. This is due to the cold and changeable temperature, resulting in vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, aggravation of heart and brain load, easy rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, and easy spasm of coronary arteries, which in turn induces cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
According to the latest surveillance data, among the registered population in Beijing, death from heart disease and cerebrovascular disease accounted for 27% and 19.1% of the total deaths, respectively. Stroke is a common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Stroke is due to blockage or rupture of cerebral blood vessels, ischemia or bleeding, so that the normal blood supply to the brain is interrupted, resulting in brain cell damage or death, and then trigger a variety of dysfunction. Depending on the area of damage, stroke is a type of problem that can cause problems with language, movement, emotion, and even disability and death.
