Recommendations for stroke prevention

One of the most effective preventive measures for healthy people is the timely identification of risk factors. These are usually present long before the patient develops a stroke. It is important to know the values of blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol.

Recommended blood pressure values:

- for patients with arterial hypertension: 130-139 / 80-85 mmHg

- for patients with cerebrovascular diseases: 130-139 / 80-85 mmHg

- for elderly patients: below 150 / go mmHg

Stroke can be prevented by simple lifestyle changes:

  • let's stop smoking for at least half an hour a day let's exercise
  • with physical exercise,
  • let's eat lots of fruits and vegetables
  • maintain a proper body weight,
  • limit salt, fat and sugar in food,
  • avoid excessive alcohol consumption,
  • we regularly measure our blood pressure, control our blood fats and blood sugar,
  • if you feel an irregular heartbeat, go to the doctor for advice.

The risk of heart disease and stroke can also be prevented by early detection of atrial fibrillation, premature heart contraction, tachycardia and bradycardia. Special attention should be paid to heart disorders, so early diagnosis is extremely important.

Gauges that detect arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation during regular blood pressure measurements Can help detect heart problems early.

In atrial fibrillation, the atria of the heart (atrium) beat irregularly and often too fast, so the blood stagnates because it does not pass efficiently to the ventricles. Therefore, there is a high risk of blood clots, stroke and other heart-related complications. About 10-20% of patients affected by ischemic stroke have atrial fibrillation.
