Cardiovascular Diseases: Stroke
Cardiovascular diseases are any anomalies of the blood vessels or the heart. The most common cardiovascular condition is narrowing of the arterial vessels by fats or plaque, which impedes blood flow. There are different types of cardiovascular diseases, but stroke remains a focus of this paper. Stroke develops due to the deprivation of oxygen in the brain, which if not addressed promptly, may lead to serious effects, even death (Cooper et al., 2000).
Symptoms
The commonly noticeable signs include numbness of body parts such as the arms or legs (Cooper et al., 2000). In most instances, paralysis occurs on one side of the body, which at times may be a warning for stroke or probably other medical conditions that require assistance.
