Patients without hyperglycemia, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia are still at risk for stroke, such as heart disease and vascular malformations.
Stroke is the name of a disease in Chinese medicine, while in Western medicine it refers to stroke, which is damage to cerebral blood vessels and damage to brain tissue from multiple causes, resulting in sudden fainting, slanting of the mouth and eyes, paralysis or even death.
Stroke includes both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes with complex and diverse etiologies. Ischemic strokes are caused by stenosis and occlusion of intracranial and extracranial arteries, embolism, and infection. In contrast, the etiology of hemorrhagic stroke is due to cerebral artery malformation, trauma, etc.
The “three highs” are high blood cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure. When there is no “three highs”, if there is a cerebral artery malformation, etc., there is still a possibility of stroke, and the type of stroke is often hemorrhagic stroke. The “three highs” are high risk factors for stroke, but in addition, atrial fibrillation, poor lifestyle habits (such as staying up late and smoking), overweight and obesity, and lack of physical activity are all high risk factors for stroke. The first time I saw this, I was able to get to the top of the list.
