She explained that although he had tried to quit several times, he had trouble abstaining for longer than a week.
Also noted in Mario’s medical history was that he led a sedentary lifestyle that had contributed to his excess weight.
Lucinda feels somewhat relieved and tells the nurse and attending ER physician that both of Mario’s parents passed away from myocardial infarctions when they were in their late 60s.
She adds that Mario is a smoker, usually smoking about a pack and half each day.
He asks the case manager to meet with Lucinda, and then with Mario when he is fully conscious.
When the attending case manager speaks with the wife, she asks about insurance coverage and verifies that the patient has adequate coverage through his employer’s health insurance plan.
When patients are treated by medical professionals soon after a stroke occurs, permanent brain tissue damage or death may be avoided.
The nurse informs Lucinda that the major identified risk factors associated with an increased risk of stroke include: * Age (older than 65 yrs) * Hypertension * Family or personal history of cardiovascular disease * Smoking * Obesity.
Also known as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), stroke occurs when part of the brain is deprived of adequate oxygen due to an arterial blockage or rupture.
It accounts for more than 160,000 annual deaths in the United States, making stroke the third leading cause of death, following closely behind heart disease and cancer. There are two kinds of CVAs or stroke: an ischemic stroke (occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, usually by a blood clot) or a hemorrhagic stroke (happens when there is bleeding in or around the brain).
