Medical History and Identification of medical condition:
The patient’s Age: 57
Medical history: Hypertension, high Blood Pressure, and Diabetic.
Conditions observed post admission:
Blood pressure: 150/90
Pulse: 75
The physical symptoms: Facial droop, slurred speech, no grip, left motor weakness, arm strength was too weak; falls rapidly, and altered sensation.
CT scan report showed Hyperdensity of right middle cerebral artery in the M1 segment.
Medical Condition declared: Ischemic Stroke.
The patient’s age is 57. According to his previous medical reports and medical history he is suffering from hypertension, high Blood Pressure, and Diabetic.
The patient was ambulatory when checked by the attendant for service. After admission, vital tests showed a high blood pressure result of 150/90, Pulse 75. The physical symptoms included facial droop, slurred speech, he had no grip, left motor weakness, arm strength was too weak; falls rapidly, and altered sensation.
CT scan was carried out for further study on the case. The report showed Hyperdensity in the right middle cerebral artery in the M1 segment. There was no other signs but all the examined conditions and signs were suggestive for Ischemic Stroke.

Definition of medical condition
Ischemic stroke is a condition of brain where a cerebrovascular accident restricts the normal flow of blood to the brain.
When the part of the brain stops normal functioning due to deprived of blood, the respective body part also stops responding or functioning eventually.
This loss of blood supply to body parts and brain can be ischemic or hemorrhagic.
Definition of medical condition: Ischemic stroke is a condition of brain where a cerebrovascular accident restricts the normal flow of blood to the brain. When the part of the brain stops normal functioning due to deprived of blood, the respective body part also stops responding or functioning eventually. This loss of blood supply to body parts and brain can be ischemic or hemorrhagic. A stroke is considered to be one of the most emergency cases as it can lead to death, paralysis, comma or permanent disability in many body parts.

Epidemiology
Worldwide Statistical prevalence of the condition:
Over 15 million people suffer stroke in each year,
5 million death cases are reported
5 million permanent disabilities due to stroke are recorded.
It is observed that high blood pressure is the main cause causing over 12.7 million strokes worldwide per year.
As ageing is one of the main causes of stroke, the overall number of incidents due to stroke remains high.
Occurrences:
Occurs at any age due to hypertension, smoking, blood pressure but chances increases after age of 55.
Worldwide Statistical prevalence of the condition:
According to the World Health Report of 2002 by World Health Organization, it was estimated that over 15 million people suffer stroke in each year, out of which 5 million death cases are reported also 5 million permanent disabilities due to stroke are recorded.
It is observed that high blood pressure is the main cause of this causing over 12.7 million strokes worldwide per year.
The average number of death in Europe is 650,000 per year.
As ageing is one of the main causes of stroke, the overall number of incidents due to stroke remains high.
Incidences:
Strokes can occur at any age due to many reasons and factors. However, studies show that the chances of having stroke increases significantly after the age of 55.
However, due to external factors, usage of tobacco and drugs can also affect the condition. It is also seen that one fourth of people under the age of 65 are victimised by stroke.
Researches showed that Smoking doubles the risk of stroke.
Strokes can happen to the entire population regardless of their geographical, physical, mental condition or even it’s not age or gender specific.
However, from past studies it has been observed that it occurs to men upto the age of 75 whereas, in women the age group is greater than 85 (Roth, G. A, 2015).

Types of Stroke
Divided into three types according to the physiology:
Ischemc Stroke: When a blood vessel which supplies blood is obstructed or clogged.
Hemorrhagic Stroke: the blood vessels connecting to brain are ruptured and the bleeding causes other adjacent blood vessels irregular in their functioning.
Transient ischemic attack is a mini stroke or a mild attack which is same as the ischemic stroke but here, the stroke resolves quickly
Strokes is the irregular blood supply of brain or to brain that can restrict the functioning of brain and thus lead to stop the functioning of body parts. It is divided into three types according to the physiology of the condition.
Ischemc Stroke: This stroke happens when a blood vessel which supplies blood is obstructed or clogged.
Hemorrhagic Stroke is a type of stroke where the blood vessels connecting to brain are ruptured and the bleeding causes other adjacent blood vessels irregular in their...
