Either there is a lack of blood to the brain tissue, which is the usual cause, or there is a hemorrhage (bleeding) into the brain from a ruptured blood vessel. About 85 percent of strokes are caused by blockage of an artery that brings blood to the brain. The blockage deprives the brain ofthe necessary oxygen and nutrients which the blood carries. Arteriosclerosis, or narrowing of the artery, can cause the blockage, or it can be caused by a blood clot that has formed inside the circulatory system and becomes trapped in a smaller blood vessel. The clot usually comes from the heart and makes its way up until it blocks off one of the arteries feeding part of the brain. That particular part of the brain sustains the injury and may die. There are half a million strokes in the United States every year. It's the third most common cause of death in the country, killing some 150,000 people annually. Yet, stroke disables more often than it Kills. Depending on which part of the brain is cut off from the blood supply, stroke can affect the ability to move, to speak orto keep one's balance. There can be losses of vision, sensation and a variety of other functions. Rehabilitation is possible, and the younger the patient, the better the chance for recovery. Recovery also depends in part on whether the affected section of the brain is destroyed or only injured. There is some evidence that other parts of the brain may This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D..

Board- Certified in be able to replace the function of the destroyed part. : The most stroke-susceptible people are the elderly, although some 20 percent of strokes do occur in people under age 60. With each successive decade of life, the frequency of stroke doubles; men and women are equally susceptible. The biggest risk factor for stroke is hypertension (high blood pressure). If you control hypertension, you are much less likely to have, a stroke than if you do not control it. You‘can take steps to reduce the risk of hypertension by avoiding obesity, a high fat and high cholesterol diet, and cigarettes. Diabetes also puts a person at risk for high blood pressure. However, even with very good health habits, you can get hypertension, so as you age you should keep track of your blood pressure with your doctor's help. There's no proof that exercise prevents stroke, but it's likely that it helps indirectly. Exercise does not necessarily protect you from hypertension, so even if you run every day, you still need to check your blood pressure and take any medications that have been prescribed to lower it. Otherwise you remain at risk for stroke. Some other dietary factors may help to prevent high blood pressure and therefore reduce risk for stroke. These include getting enough calcium and potassium. But these factors are still under investigation, and since overdosing on these nutrients can be dangerous, it's best for now to stick with recommended daily amounts.
