CRUCIAL PROBLEMS OF PREVENTION OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK AND STROKE

Abstract

The problem of cerebrovascular stroke continues to be of extraordinary social and medical importance throughout the world [1]. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a prestrike condition that increases the risk of developing it up to 30%, a 9 increase in the general population [2]. For stroke risk assessment, a specific AVSD 2 scale has been proposed to be used to access the risk of early development of stroke after TIA and to identify patients who should be admitted to the hospital. This measure takes into account the age of over 60, blood pressure higher than 140/90mm Hg , the presence of clinical symptoms, the duration of symptoms for more than 60 minutes, diabetes[5]. Patients with TIA with a core of 2 or higher should be sent to the hospital for further investigation and treatment/ the causes of this are complicated. This includes: arterial hypertension heart disease, arterial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, dyslipoproteinami, diabetes, asymptomatic disease of carotid arteries, pathology of small vessels of the brain, neck osteochondrosis, left ventricular aneurysm, artificial heart value, rheumatic damage of heart valves, bacterial endocdrditis, ets. Lifestyle risk factors also play an important role in the development o TIA: smoking, alcohol abuse, overweight, use of contraceptives, poor diets mental stress, migraine[2,3,5,7].
