1.6 Stroke Statistics: Globally the leading reason for mortality and morbidity rate is stroke. Nearly twenty million individuals can suffer from stroke annually and around five million individuals won't survive [1]. The developing countries account for a median of 85% of worldwide deaths from stroke [2]. Stroke ends up in practical impairments with a median rate of two hundredth survivors who need institutional care once an amount of three months and 15%-30% are going to be disabled for good [3]
brain loses its blood supply and the part of the body that the blood-deprived brain cells control stops working. Blood loss supply can be ischemic because of lack of blood flow, or hemorrhagic because of bleeding into brain tissue. When an artery in the brain is being obstructed or blocked preventing oxygen rich blood from being delivered to brain cells, an ischemic stroke can occur (Wedro, 2013). Atherosclerosis can happen when fatty deposits line the vessel walls, which can cause two types of obstruction:
It goes without saying that everyone’s health is important and should be taken care carefully. Everyone has heard of strokes before but many people do not really know its meaning, types, and the number of individuals of that dies due to this issue. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015), strokes kills an average of 130,000 people a year and it is one of the most common deaths that happen in the United States. An average of 800,000 of people die from cardiovascular disease

the body. If paralysis is considered as one side, it is known as hemiplegia or one-sided weakness, known as hemi paresis. A stroke is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. They result in part of the brain not functioning properly. Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or
are ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), embolic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, thrombotic stroke, and lacunar infarction Ischemic Stroke is the death of the brain tissue that occurs because of lack of blood supply and insufficient oxygen to the brain due to blockage of an artery. During 60 to 90 seconds the brain tissue could stop working and after approximately three hours it will suffer irreversible injury possibly leading to death of the tissue. Most of the time that the Ischemic Stroke
not to function properly. Once parts of the brain stop functioning, it can directly affect the areas of the body controlled (1). A stroke can be generally be defined in two types of categories. The first and most common type of stroke is called ischemic stroke. This occurs when a blood clot (cerebral thrombosis) blocks a blood vessel in the brain. Blood flow beyond the blood clot is then restricted, and the part of the brain that relies on that blood supply becomes oxygen deficient and can die
Ischemic Stroke Definition of the Disease The term cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or stroke, is a medical emergency with a sudden onset that can have devastating effects (Bansal, Pelino, Pizzimwnti, 2015). A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted (ischemia), or when a cerebral vessel ruptures and causes blood to bleed into the brain (hemorrhage). Both ischemia and hemorrhage cause brain cell death by depriving the brain of needed oxygen and nutrients. Damaged brain cells die
are lost when the brain cells begin to die. A cerebrovascular accident is also referred to as a stroke. There are two types of strokes, which include hemorrhagic or ischemic. Around 87 percent of all stroke cases are ischemic. An ischemic stroke is resulted by a blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain. An ischemic stroke can occur in two ways: an embolic stroke or a thrombotic stroke. In an embolic stroke, a blood clot forms in the body, usually the heart, and travels to the brain
the evaluation of a stroke patient and determination of their eligibility for treatment with thrombolytic medication (Jefferey, 2013). Ischemic Stroke A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association stressed the importance of onset to treatment time as a factor in patient clinical outcomes. The study also indicated that early treatment of ischemic stroke with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) resulted in fewer deaths, intracranial hemorrhage, and an overall
common cause of death (11% of all death in UK) and the leading cause of adult disability worldwide. Stroke rates increases with age but one quarter of all stroke occur before the age of 65. It is important to differentiate between stroke and transient ischemic attack as its presentation and long term management differ. The condition of stroke will become more severe if there is recurrent episodes of stroke or in association with other comorbidities. The evaluation of stroke should includes the evaluation
neuropathy (nerve damage), nephropathy (kidney disease) and retinopathy (eye disease). Macrovascular Complications of Diabetes Diabetic patients due to common metabolic, coagulation and vascular abnormalities are more prone to arteriosclerosis and ischemic complications (Beckman et al., 2002). Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by migration of T lymphocytes and monocytes to the area of arterial wall injury. This process plays central role in the pathogenesis of the macrovascular
Educating a stroke patient comes with many challenges. Patients who have had a stroke may suffer from barriers that may negatively affect the learning process. When educating patients in general, it has been reported that 40-80% of the information provided by the healthcare professionals is forgotten (Kessels, 2003). The more information that is presented, the least amount of information is recalled (Kessels, 2003). Many studies have provided information regarding which teaching modality works
myocardial infarction and is a leading cause of acquired disability. In some regions, the combined incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) exceeds the incidence of coronary vascular events.1 Despite advances in preventive strategies and initial therapy for stroke, nearly 800,000 strokes occur per year in the United States,1 and 87% of all strokes worldwide are ischemic in origin. 1 The risk of stroke is higher among men than among women, among blacks than among whites, and in older than
of blood flow deprives the brain of necessary nutrients and oxygen supplies, killing surrounding cells in the brain. There are three main types of strokes: ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and transient ischemic stroke. Ischemic strokes occur due to an obstruction or clotting of a blood vessel or artery. There are two types of ischemic strokes: embolic and thrombotic strokes. An embolic stroke is when a blood clot or other substance forms in the body, travels through the blood stream, and
stroke may only have minor problems such as weakness of a ligament. For those who experience larger attacks may become paralyzed on that one side or lose the ability to speak. Recovery from strokes is possible However, more than 2/3rds of stroke survivors will have some type of permanent disability. There are 7 types of Strokes; one of the most important ones I will discuss will be TIA. Ischemic Stroke: In everyday life, blood clotting is beneficial. When you are bleeding from a wound, blood clots
stroke are categorized as a mini stroke – or transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is caused by a temporary blood clot (Dennis & Sen, 2015). Those that have experienced a mini-stroke are at risk for a following stroke compared to those that
stroke occurs blood flow to the brain is either impeded or significantly reduced. When this happens, the brain cells are starved of the essential oxygen and nutrients they need and begin to die. There are three different kinds of strokes. They are ischemic, hemorrhagic,
