A Study on the Risk Factors associated with Stroke in young adults and its Management Practices
Abstract
The various risk factors causing premature stroke and cardiovascular diseases in young adults and their management are increasing problems in both developed and developing countries. Cardiovascular diseases include heart conditions that involve diseased vessels, structural problems, and blood clots. This is a prospective observational study which was conducted for 6 months in the general medicine department of Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad. The study was initiated after the approval by Institutional Ethical Committee. During the study period a total number of 80 cases were collected. Out of these cases (55 cases, 69%) were of ischemic stroke and (25 cases, 31%) of hemorrhagic stroke. It was observed that males were more prone to strokes and females are more prone to cardiovascular diseases. The most common risk factor associated with stroke was hypertension. The age group of 41–50 years was mostly affected by stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, from our study we observe that timely treatment and patient counselling on disease, disease management and medications are important parameters for better patient care and improving quality of life.
