Publisher's Synopsis
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the cardiovascular diseases are the #1 most frequent reason for the death in the worldRecently strokes (cerebral hemorrhages) are registered 2-3 times more frequently than the myocardial infarction. Furthermore, the stroke is one of the key reasons for the premature mortality. This illness is the second after the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by popularity and can be found more often even than oncology. Strokes and heart attacks are the reason for almost 70% of all deaths in the world. Seven out of ten people will die from the blocked arteries in the heart or the brain. In the majority of cases, the reason for the death is the unstable blood pressure as a result of hypertension. Only in the USA, around 800,000 people are suffering from the stroke. In 82-92% of cases, they have to face the ischemic stroke of the cerebral brain. The ischemic stroke is the most popular type of the stroke (more than 80% of all cases). Furthermore, this type of the stroke is the key reason for the invalidity. More than 90% of people have to face invalidity or death after the stroke. 50% of them need the support of other people, or can't walk without help (according to the information from the National Stroke Prevention Association). That's why one needs to think about these scary numbers in order to avoid being one of the victims of this dangerous disease.
