Cerebrovascular Disease

Cerebrovascular disease refers to a group of medical conditions that affect blood flow to the brain, leading to problems such as strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). It occurs when blood vessels in the brain become narrowed, blocked, or burst, which can damage brain tissue and affect functions like speech, movement, and memory. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent severe outcomes, and lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes surgery can help treat or prevent cerebrovascular issues.
