A brain attack or stroke occurs when a blood artery in the brain bursts or when something prevents the flow of blood to a particular region of the brain. In either case, there is damage or degeneration to certain areas of the brain. Stroke patients may develop a chronic disability, incur severe brain damage, or even pass away.
Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Silent Cerebrovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Explain this study.
Epidemiological studies conducted over 20 years have demonstrated the prevalence of silent cerebrovascular illness and its link to future stroke and dementia risk. It is the most typical unintentional brain scan discovery. The Stroke Council of the American Heart Association assembled a writing committee to assess current research, discuss clinical issues, and make recommendations for future studies on stroke prevention in patients with the three cardinal manifestations of silent cerebrovascular disease: silent brain infarcts, magnetic resonance imaging white matter hyperintensity, and ischemic stroke. The writing committee discovered compelling evidence that silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities are linked to a future risk of symptomatic stroke independent of other vascular risk factors and that silent cerebrovascular illness is a prevalent issue of aging. There was limited prospective information on the risk of symptomatic hemorrhage in individuals on anticoagulation, however, there was evidence of a slightly elevated risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in patients with cerebral microbleeds receiving thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. There were no randomized controlled trials especially designed to prevent stroke in people with a silent cerebrovascular illness. Patients with quiet brain infarcts, white matter hyperintensities, or microbleeds should get primary stroke prophylaxis. It may be easier to diagnose and communicate results from radiologists to physicians if they use standard phrases and criteria for silent cerebrovascular disease, as suggested by previous American Heart Association/American Stroke Association statements and by a consensus group.
