Mending Risk Factor to Avoid Stroke is Comparatively Less Successful in Women

1/23/2020

 
Stroke affects more women than men
Stroke Can Cause Irreparable Damage when Timely Treatment is Not Provided
Maybe just like how heart attacks are to men strokes are to women. Men are the predominant victims of heart attacks and women who fight for equality might not find it so pleasurable to realize that stroke kills a greater number of women than men and more women have stroke than men. Statistics show that almost one in five women have stroke. Such high numbers are not due to her lifestyle or hormones but mainly because of risk factors of stroke that include pregnancy, preeclampsia, hormone replacement therapy, migraine with aura, birth control pills and atrial fibrillation. Stroke doesn’t ring a precautionary bell before striking and what’s more dangerous is that women experience different stroke symptoms that replicate common symptoms and this includes pain, seizures, hiccups, hallucination, nausea, vomiting, confusion, shortness of breath, general weakness, agitation and sudden change in behaviour.
​
Uncommon symptoms make stroke in women difficult to diagnose resulting in delayed treatment. Any delays beyond 5 hours after the first symptom occurs makes it very difficult for the treatment to be effective. We now have new research giving women yet another factor to worry-they benefit less from a surgery that’s primarily used to treat carotid artery disease, a key risk factor for stroke.

Carotid Stenosis
Carotid artery disease, also called as carotid stenosis contains fatty deposits called plaque that build up inside the neck arteries thereby increasing stroke risk. Physicians perform a surgery to remove fatty deposits by a procedure called endarterectomy. Researchers found that in those participants who had a risk for plaque build up endarterectomy proved to be more useful in men as the risk of stroke was only 8.9% in men compared to 11.1% in women. The study was conducted on more than 31,000 people aged over 65 years suffering from carotid artery disease-a condition that’s responsible for almost 15% of all ischemic strokes.

Ageing, smoking, high BP, high cholesterol, diabetes and sedentariness increase the risk of carotid artery disease. The very presence of plaque doesn’t increase the risk immediately but when fatty deposits fill more than 70% of carotid arteries there is a chance of stroke within five years. Until the blockage becomes severe needing surgery medications to control risk factors are given.

The best way to save yourself from all the complications of stroke and its effect is to lead a healthy lifestyle by practising the following:

  1. Maintain optimal blood pressure levels
  2. Lose weight if you are obese/overweight; maintain weight if you are on a normal weight range
  3. Exercise is not restricted for those who are overweight. Physical activity must be a regular part of each of our daily activities to stay fit
  4. Quit smoking and drink alcohol in moderation
  5. Treat atrial fibrillation immediately as it increases the risk of stroke by 5-fold times
  6. Regulate blood glucose levels
  7. Last but not the least learn to identify the symptoms of stroke and call for help immediately without hesitating. Remember the acronym: FAST-read more about it and how to recognize stroke symptoms by visiting the website www.firsteatright.com.

Stroke can cause permanent disability depending on the amount of brain tissue damaged-this decreases quality of life greatly making it a living hell when timely recognition and treatment are not fulfilled. Hence, it is better to avoid the disease rather than to crib later.
