Atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels - symptoms and treatment

Atherosclerosis is a dangerous disease that affects the blood vessels of the brain. With it, foci of cholesterol deposits form on the inner membrane of the arteries, they cause narrowing of the lumen of the vessels up to complete blockage. With a slowly increasing blockage, the symptoms of cerebral artery atherosclerosis determine the degree of inadequate blood supply to the brain. With rapid blockage of the lumen of the arteries with a thrombus or the contents of the disintegrated cholester...

What to do at a pressure of 140 to 90, and is it dangerous?

Pressure 140 to 90 in medical terminology is known as a state of borderline hypertension, since for some people this is normal, and for the majority - the first sign of the onset of the disease. Age changes in the body lead, as a rule, to the further development of this state - a stable increase in pressure, and there is a risk of certain diseases of the cardiovascular system. Causes of pressure 140 to 90 The pressure is 140 to 90 mm. gt; Art. - this is the minimum figure, which, in the seco...

Ischemic stroke of the brain

Ischemic stroke is a cerebral infarction that develops with a significant decrease in cerebral blood flow. Among the diseases leading to the development of cerebral infarction, the first place is occupied by atherosclerosis, affecting the main cerebral vessels on the neck or the intracranial vessels, or both. Often there is a combination of atherosclerosis with hypertensive disease or arterial hypertension. Acute ischemic stroke is a condition requiring immediate hospitalization of the patie...

Pressure 100 per 100 - what does this mean?

Pressure 100 per 100 - this figure can be the athlete, and a person who constantly trains in the gym, engaged in fitness. Most often, this pressure and those who work hard physically. In this case, such indicators for these categories are normal. Previously, it was believed that lower pressure does not play a special role if the indicator of the upper is normal. But studies have shown that both diastolic and systolic index equally affect human condition. The increase in "lower" pressure is u...

Anemia - symptoms and treatment

Anemia is a decrease in the blood count of red blood cells - erythrocytes below 4.0x109 / L, or a decrease in hemoglobin levels below 130 g / L in men and below 120 g / L in women. Anemia in pregnancy is characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin below 110 g / l. This is not an independent disease, anemia occurs as a syndrome with a variety of diseases and leads to a disruption in the supply of oxygen all organs and tissues of the body, which, in turn, provokes the development of many other d...

Chronic heart failure

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the amount of heart-ejected blood is reduced for each cardiac contraction, that is, the pumping function of the heart falls, causing organs and tissues to lack oxygen. About 15 million Russians suffer from this disease. Depending on how rapidly heart failure develops, it is divided into acute and chronic. Acute congestive heart failure can be associated with injuries, toxins, heart disease and without treatment can quickly lead to death. Ch...

Arterial hypertension 1, 2, 3 degrees

Arterial hypertension is a syndrome of persistent increase in pressure in the arteries, when the systolic pressure is above 139 mm Hg. st., and the diastolic is higher than 89 mm Hg. Art. The normal arterial blood pressure of a healthy person is considered to be 120 and 80 mm Hg. (systolic / diastolic, respectively). There are two types of hypertension: primary (essential) hypertension and symptomatic arterial hypertension (it is secondary). Probably, every person at least once in his life e...

Intracranial pressure - symptoms and treatment in adults

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure inside the skull: in the sinuses of the cerebral membrane, in the subarchnoid and epidural spaces, the ventricles of the brain.Its fluctuations are associated with impaired circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in certain parts of the skull, which leads to its accumulation or lack. A healthy person releases about a liter of liquor per day, while intracranial pressure remains normal. This is explained by the constant absorption of cerebrospinal f...
