Advances in Management of Cerebral Vascular Disease
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Cerebral vascular disease occurs at the arteries of brain due to the less supply of blood. Stroke is mostly caused by cerebral vascular disease and it is also a common cause of vascular dementia due to reduced oxygen supply and blood flow to the brain. In industrialized countries, neurologic disability is most frequently caused by cerebeovascular disease. Individuals with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure etc are at higher possibility for cerebral vascular disease. After malignancy and heart disease, cerebral vascular disease is the third leading of death and estimated that an average 500,000 new stroke occurred in each year. Advance techniques such as carotid endarterectomy, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography and single photon emission computed tomography etcare used for management of cerebral vascular disease.
