Cerebrovascular Diseases

Cerebrovascular diseases refer to conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain. These include strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is interrupted (often by a blood clot) or when a blood vessel bursts, causing bleeding. Reduced blood flow can lead to brain damage and loss of function. Other forms include transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes) and vascular dementia. These diseases can result from various factors, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and lifestyle choices. Timely medical attention is crucial to minimize damage and improve outcomes.
