Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Stroke also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebrovascular insult is when poor blood flow to the brain result in brain death. The 1990 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study provided the first global estimate on the burden of 135 diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases ranked as the second leading cause of death after ischemic heart disease. During the past decade the quantity of especially routine mortality data due to cerebrovascular disease has been increased, and is now covering approximately one-third of the world’s population. Data on causes of death from the 1990s have shown that cerebrovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death. In 2001 it was estimated that cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) accounted for 5.5 million deaths world-wide, equivalent to 9.6 % of all deaths. Two-thirds of these deaths occurred in people living in developing countries and 40% of the subjects were aged less than 70 years.
