We know that protecting our cerebrovascular health is closely related to "healthy aging". Do you give the same importance to your brain health as you do to your physical health?
With brain check-up, wouldn't you like to identify the factors that may cause you to get cerebrovascular diseases in the future and take early precautions to have a healthy age? ?
What is cerebrovascular disease (stroke, paralysis)?
Cerebral vascular occlusion or bleeding (stroke, paralysis), blockage of one of the vessels feeding the brain, or It is the loss of function in the relevant brain area resulting from the rupture of the brain.
As a result
-sudden speech disorder or inability to speak,
-unilateral decrease or loss of strength in arms and legs,
- sudden inability to see one side.
- double vision
- imbalance.
- inability to walk. While this condition may improve within 24 hours, it may also be permanent.
When these symptoms are short-term, they are generally ignored and ignored as nothing happens. However, the treatment given when consulting a physician prevents a major stroke.
The important thing for all of us is to take precautions before encountering such a situation, and this is where BRAIN CHECK-UP comes into play.
What are the risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases?
strong>
- asymptomatic stenoses in the main vessels leading to the brain (jugular veins)
– structural disorders in the brain vessels (aneurysm, avm)
– diabetes
-hypertension
- heart rhythm disorder (atrial fibrillation) and heart valve diseases
- high blood fats
- high alcohol intake
-sleep breathing disorders
- smoking
– overweight
– family history
– age
What should be done to prevent cerebrovascular diseases?
Other risk factors except family history and age; It can be detected early ; can be corrected and the risk of stroke can be reduced, BRAIN CHECK-UP is important at this point.
WHAT IS BRAIN CHECK-UP?
Examining the risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases with imaging and laboratory methods, It is the investigation and early detection of heart-related pathological conditions that may lead to heart disease. Thus, risk factors can be identified and precautions can be taken and the risk of stroke can be reduced.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAIN CHECK-UP?
Risk factors that may cause cerebrovascular diseases can be determined in advance and precautions can be taken. and quality of life can be improved.
WHO SHOULD HAVE BRAIN CHECK –UP?
Everyone who cares about their cerebrovascular health should have it done. The earlier risk factors are detected, the easier it is to take precautions.
Examinations and examinations performed in BRAIN CHECK-UP.
-Neurological examination
-Brain MRI
-Carotid and Vertebral Artery Doppler USG
-Cardiology examination
p>-ECHO
- ECG
-Blood pressure monitoring
-Blood count
-Fasting blood sugar
-HbA1c
-TSH
-Free T4
-Free T3
-vit B12
-Folic acid
-Sedimentation
-Urea, creatinine, electrolytes
-ALT,AST
-Cholesterol and blood fats
What happens as a result of these examinations performed with BRAIN CHECK-UP?
In the main vessels feeding the brain Whether there is stenosis (in the jugular veins),
heart rhythm and valve structural problems,
brain structural – vascular problems,
whether blood fats are high,
It provides the opportunity to detect in advance whether there are conditions that affect cerebrovascular health such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, blood and liver diseases.
