Semnele unui risc crescut de AVC nu se simt, dar investigațiile le pot descoperi. Explicațiile neurologului

Stroke risk can affect younger individuals without prior symptoms. Neurologist Dr. Consuela Ion emphasizes the importance of imaging tests like Doppler ultrasound and MRI angiography to detect vascular changes early. These tests can identify arterial narrowing, atherosclerotic plaques, and aneurysms, which may not show up in routine analyses. Early detection allows for timely intervention and treatment adjustments. Silent strokes can also occur, leading to subtle cognitive changes that may go unnoticed. Imaging techniques are crucial in emergency situations to assess potential strokes and guide treatment decisions.
