In the past 40 years in China, with the economic development and prosperity, millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, and China has also experienced rapid demographic and epidemiological changes. The overall population health measured by life expectancy, child mortality, disease profile and risk factors has undergone and will continue to undergo fundamental changes.

Stroke is the first killer in China and the first cause of death in China. According to WHO data, the incidence of stroke in China ranks first in the world. There are more than 5 million cases of stroke in China every year, of which about 6.5438+0.96 million people die.

In other words, a stroke occurs every 6.2 seconds, and one person dies every 16 seconds! Stroke has become the leading cause of death in China. What is even more frightening is that stroke is not only a patent for the elderly, but also one of the main causes of death among young people aged 5-49 in China.

Stroke, also known as stroke, many people only know that the patient's mouth and eyes will be skewed and slurred speech. But in fact, stroke is a disease with high incidence, high recurrence rate, high disability rate and high mortality rate. It is an abnormality of blood vessels supplying brain tissue, including hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. When the embolus attached to the blood vessel wall falls off and blocks the blood vessels in the brain, an ischemic stroke is formed. Cerebral vascular rupture and intracranial hemorrhage will lead to hemorrhagic stroke. Once a stroke occurs, its mortality and disability rate are high, which usually leaves complications and brings great inconvenience to patients' lives.

However, most strokes are traceable and will show some symptoms in the early stage. Only a few people have no symptoms before stroke, and most people have transient cerebral ischemia. In addition to the common mouth and eyes askew and slurred speech, there are dizziness, numbness of limbs (more common on one side) and sudden blackness at one side.

There is a simple and effective method to distinguish stroke in the world-"quick method", that is, face, arm, language expression and time. Face, facial expression is stiff, numb, and has visual impairment; Weakness of arms, hands and feet, numbness of limbs and difficulty in walking; Language (speaking), inarticulate, words do not convey the meaning; Time (time), after the symptoms or occurrence of stroke, you should call 120 as soon as possible to send the patient to the best treatment place in the shortest time.
