Features: The modern medical term for stroke is cerebrovascular disease, which is a group of diseases caused by local circulatory disorders in blood vessels (including blockage and rupture bleeding) leading to brain dysfunction. Once cerebrovascular disease occurs, brain cells suffer varying degrees of ischemia and hypoxia damage, resulting in varying degrees of functional impairment in human movement, sensation, speech, intelligence, and emotions, such as hemiplegia, dementia, and depression. Therefore, after patients with cerebrovascular disease survive the initial critical period, a significant portion will suffer disabilities. It is said that both the average annual incidence rate and the prevalence rate of stroke in China exceed the world average, and the incidence rate has been on the rise in recent years.
