CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF STROKE IN WOMEN

Stroke is an acute disorder of blood circulation in the brain, accompanied by tissue death and impaired function of the nervous system. Normally, brain tissues constantly receive sufficient nutrients and oxygen to maintain organ function. Stopping blood flow even for a few seconds can lead to damage to the organ, as neurons do not store the necessary components for metabolism. Stroke is a life threatening condition: depending on the area of blood flow disruption, the patient may experience mild impairment of brain function or massive tissue destruction followed by a vegetative state. Early symptoms of the disease include muscle weakness, speech impairment and facial asymmetry.
