    Book Based Pathophysiology - Hemorrhagic Stroke

    Uploaded by

    ZAY EM
    This document summarizes the risk factors, etiology, signs and symptoms, and potential complications of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident or stroke. It lists both non-modifiable risk factors like age, gender, and family history as well as modifiable risk factors like high blood pressure, smoking, and alcohol use. The etiology includes conditions like cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hypertension, and cerebral atherosclerosis which compromise the integrity of cerebral arteries and weaken blood vessel walls. Signs and symptoms range from sudden severe headache to alterations in consciousness, neurological deficits, and death if left untreated. Potential complications include brain herniation, cerebral ischemia, and brain cell damage.
