Cerebrovascular Disorders

Cerebrovascular disease is a medical conditions that affect the blood vessels of the brain and the cerebral circulation. The arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to the brain are usually  get damaged  in this disorders. The most common type of cerebrovascular disease is an ischemic stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes a hemorrhagic stroke. high blood pressure (Hypertension) is the most important contributing risk factor for stroke and cerebrovascular diseases as it can change the structure of blood vessels and result in atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis  is a condition  where the blood vessels narrows in the brain, resulting in decreased cerebral perfusion. Narrowed cerebral arteries may lead to ischemic stroke, but continually elevated blood pressure can also cause tearing of vessels, leading to a hemorrhagic stroke.
