Disturbances in blood circulation in the arteries of the brain lead to imbalances and sensation, paresis. Also, impaired memory or impaired concentration can be a sign of blood clots and atherosclerosis. You are at increased risk if you are hereditary, over 30 or overactive. What can the effects of blood circulation disorders in the brain be?
Blood circulation disorders in the braingive differentsymptoms . Depending on the location of the diseased arteries, the following may occur:
- tinnitus
- sensory disturbance
- paresis
- imbalance
- cognitive impairment - decreased memory efficiency and less concentration.
In the case of embolism or blood clots, which is very severe ischemia, sudden onset of severe pain is typical. A symptom of chronic ischemia is pain during exercise.
Disorders of blood circulation in the brain: causes
Cerebral ischemia may be caused by blood clots or atherosclerosis - a disease involving the deposition of lipid substances (mainly fats and cholesterol), collagen fibers and calcium s alts in the lining of the arteries, which form atherosclerotic plaques. The enlargement of the atherosclerotic plaque leads to narrowing and even closure of the artery. Blood clotting (thrombus formation) and sudden closure of the vessel may occur at the site of atherosclerotic plaque formation.
The development of atherosclerosis, which causes cerebral ischemia, is influenced by:
- hereditary tendency
- age - after the age of 30, the processes of deposition of atherosclerotic plaque begin
- gender - men get sick more often
- hormonal overactivity - hormones of the thyroid gland, pancreas, sex glands
- nervous system disorders
- coagulation disorders
- diabetes
- hypertension.
Extracorporeal factors also influence the development of atherosclerosis:
- obesity caused by a diet high in fat and carbohydrates
- smoking
- lifestyle - no physical effort, responsible and stressful work.
