Stroke Information

Past Sunday, I came across an article regarding about one Local DJ have a mild stroke occurs suddenly. And this make me think of one of my Colleagues and also Client. I have decide to share on some information on Stroke.

A stroke occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off, and the cells in that part of the brain dies. When this happens, the functions that are controlled by that part of the brain are lost. Depending on which part of the brain is affected, a person may have different symptoms.

Blood is brought to the brain by blood vessels called arteries. A stroke happens when an artery to the brain is blocked or bursts. This may be due to high blood pressure or a weak artery wall from birth.

Causes of Stroke besides Age and Family History, another factors are our lifestyle, like smoking, stress, Overweight etc. Some medical conditions if not controlled properly can also increase the risk of Stroke, which are High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, High LDL Cholestrol and Atrial Fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder)
