The diagnosis is usually confirmed by CT or MRI (CT is computed tomography). Both The method helps diagnose the presence of a vascular lesion but nell''ictus ischemic CT may not be sufficient while the MRI is able to highlight the presence of a small lump, so that a doctor - looking at it - can understand if the patient may benefit from thrombolytic therapy. This therapy should be administered within three hours of the stroke and only in case of ischemia, as erroneously given to the victim of a hemorrhagic stroke can result in death. Administered rapidly under suitable conditions, thrombolysis can greatly reduce the damage caused by the stroke and even save lives. (...)
After the time of diagnosis, doctors will try to determine whether the stroke was caused by a blood clot, because everything has happened and outline how to solve the problem, if it can be resolved. If the stroke occurs again a second time means that the problem is not resolved. It might be useful cardiology visits, an electrocardiogram or echocardiography (ultrasound video of the cavities of the valve according to discover the areas in which they may form emboli). The person with stroke will have to run many blood tests, some to exclude the presence of emboli, some of them to measure the level of the various metabolic enzymes and other areas, and others to monitor the density of blood. You can take care to dilute the blood and correct regular beats. In some cases you have to decide whether to intervene surgically. If possible it is best to postpone the surgery until the time when there was a significant recovery from stroke.
So, in summary, there are two basic types of stroke but the causes are varied and this is why it is necessary to perform many useful analysis to determine the exact cause of the event. However, since the brain is so complex there may be circumstances in which the doctor can not determine the cause of stroke and therefore must treat the patient according to the best opinion but if the person in question is relatively young (and a third is) , you absolutely must proceed with all possible analysis to get to determine the cause with the greatest possible care. So if you were told that no one knows why your family has had a stroke, ask for further diagnostic tests are carried out or get to explain why these were not carried out.
