Vascular stroke is the third leading cause of death after heart attack and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability. It is also the most common neurological condition requiring hospitalization.
Vascular stroke is defined as the sudden onset of symptoms from the central nervous system, as a result of ischemia or bleeding. Most of the time they can leave physical and cognitive disability.
Once treated and stabilized, the patient follows a complete neurological and laboratory testing to determine risk factors, clearly identify the lesion, and plan a new episode prevention strategy appropriate for each patient.
The collaboration of various health professionals (Neurologists, Pathologists, Cardiologists, Speech Therapists, Physiotherapists, etc.) is important to reduce the residual disability and improve the quality of life of the patient..
Immediate recognition of clinical symptoms and proper screening is extremely important in order to distinguish between ischemic and hemorrhagic episodes, and to receive appropriate treatment
