Cerebrovascular accidents

One of the earliest symptoms of hypertensive crisis is headache (usually occipital), followed by a stiff or sore neck, nausea, vomiting, sweating, fever, chest pain, dilated pupils, and bradycardia or tachycardia. If a hypertensive crisis occurs, immediate medical intervention is necessary to reduce the blood pressure Strokes (cerebrovascular accidents) and death have been reported. [Pg.282]

Diabetes mellitus is a complicated, chronic disorder characterized by either insufficient insulin production by the beta cells of die pancreas or by cellular resistance to insulin. Insulin insufficiency results in elevated blood glucose levels, or hyperglycemia As a result of the disease, individuals with diabetes are at greater risk for a number of disorders, including myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), blindness, kidney disease, and lower limb amputations.

Stroke A transient ischaemic attack or cerebrovascular accident due to occlusion (blockage) of blood vessels supplying an area of the brain. The subsequent nerve cell death may result in major disability. [Pg.249]

The same reaction was recently proposed to detect creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme of high clinical significance in relation to the investigation of skeletal muscle disease and the diagnosis of myocardial infarct or cerebrovascular accidents. As ATP is a reaction product obtained from the reaction of ADP with creatine phosphate catalyzed by CK, this enzyme can be indirectly measured by the CL intensity read from the subsequent reaction of ATP with luciferin. Using the technique of electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA), it is possible to detect the enzyme using nanoliter volumes of biological sample with an improved speed and simplicity with respect to a conventional colorimetric method [100],...

The main causes of death in hypertensive subjects are cerebrovascular accidents, cardiovascular (CV) events, and renal failure. The probability of premature death correlates with the severity of BP elevation. [Pg.125]

Ivabradine is used in the treatment of angina in patients in normal sinus rhythm. It acts on the sinus node resulting in a reduction of the heart rate. It is contraindicated in severe bradycardia (heart rate lower than 60 beats/ minute), cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction, moderate-to-severe heart failure, immediately after a cerebrovascular accident, second and third-degree heart block and patients with unstable angina or a pacemaker. Side-effects include bradycardia, first-degree heart block, ventricular extrasystoles, headache, dizziness and visual disturbances, including blurred vision. [Pg.119]

Disulfiram is used as an adjunct in the management of alcohol dependence. It is contraindicated in patients with a history of cerebrovascular accident, cardiac failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension and psychosis. Side-effects that may be present include initial drowsiness and fatigue, nausea, vomiting, halitosis, reduced libido, psychotic reactions, allergic dermatitis, peripheral neuritis and hepatic cell damage.
