We hope this video will help you and your loved ones understand the effects of stroke and how to maximize your recovery and prevent its recurrence.

WHAT IS A STROKE?

Stroke is an event that affects the arteries of the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel bringing blood to the brain gets blocked or ruptures. This means that the area of the brain the blocked or ruptured blood vessel supplies can’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Without oxygen, nerve cells can’t function. Your brain controls your ability to move, feel, think and behave. Brain injury from a stroke may affect any of these functions.
Several factors affect the ways people experience a stroke. They include:
• The location of the blood vessel that is affected
• The area and extent of the brain injury
• The type of stroke, Ischemic or Hemorrhagic

1. Ischemic stroke occurs when a clot blocks a vessel supplying blood to the brain. The artery becomes narrowed or clogged, cutting off blood flow to brain cells. Ischemic strokes are the most common type of stroke.

2. Hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. This type of stroke may affect large arteries in the brain or the small blood vessels deep within the brain. The rupture keeps away the surrounding areas of the brain from getting needed oxygen. Hemorrhagic strokes are less common than ischemic strokes.

3. Transient ischemic attacks, also known as TIAs, are often called “warning strokes.” TIAs produce symptoms just like stroke, but typically last a shorter amount of time. They don’t usually cause lasting damage. But they are major predictors of future stroke. If you suspect you’ve had or are having a TIA, don’t ignore it! Call 911. Get immediate medical attention, even if the symptoms go away.


EARLY TREATMENT

1. Early treatment of ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot blocks a vessel supplying blood to the brain. It’s the most common type, accounting for 87% of all strokes. The treatment goal is to dissolve or remove the clot.

To dissolve a clot, a medicine called alteplase, or tPA, is given through an IV, or intravenous line. It works by dissolving the clot so blood can flow again. Alteplase can save lives and reduce the long-term effects of stroke. It needs to be given within three hours of the start of stroke symptoms, up to 4.5 hours for some eligible patients.

2. Early treatment of hemorrhagic stroke

Hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds within or around the brain. Blood vessels can become weak due to a ballooning of part of the vessel, also known as aneurysm. Other times there may be a tangle of blood vessels within the brain that didn’t form normally, making them weak. It is is called arteriovenous malformation, or AVM. When high blood pressure isn’t controlled, it puts strain on weakened blood vessels that can lead to the ruptures that cause stroke. The treatment goal is to stop the bleeding.

PREVENTING ANOTHER STROKE

Each stroke survivor has their own unique set of risk factors that contributed to their stroke. Knowing the underlying cause of your stroke is important to preventing another one.

Certain traits and lifestyle choices increase the chance of having a stroke.

A. Risk factors you can manage or control

• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Physical inactivity
• Obesity and being overweight
• Carotid or other artery disease
• Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, or other heart disease
• Excessive alcohol intake
• Illegal drug use
• Sleep apnea

B. Medications

Every stroke survivor is unique. In order to prevent another stroke, work with your health care provider and rehabilitation team.

1. Preventing blood clots

The two main types of stroke-prevention medicines are anti-platelets agents, such as aspirin, and anticoagulants. Both prevent blood clots from forming.

American Herbal Laboratories, Inc. has successfully developed Vita Brain, Immuny 5, Heart Ease and Chelaforte. These 100% premium natural herbal supplements support and promote optimal health of your heart when coping with blood clots.

2. Reducing blood pressure and cholesterol

High blood pressure damages arteries so they may burst or clog more easily. High cholesterol can cause clogged arteries, which increases the potential for a blood clot to form. That’s why your health care provider may prescribe medicines to help lower your blood pressure or cholesterol, in addition to lifestyle changes.

American Herbal Laboratories, Inc. has successfully developed Heart Ease and At Ease. These 100% premium natural herbal supplements support and promote optimal health of your heart when coping with heart failure or weak function of heart.
