What does stroke mean?
The English name for 脑卒中 is "stroke," which in Chinese mainly translates from English. In medicine, it is referred to as cerebrovascular disease. Stroke onset is very aggressive, rapidly reaching its peak, typically within minutes to days. Stroke primarily includes ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic strokes primarily encompass diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism, whereas hemorrhagic strokes mainly include cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Regardless of the type, strokes pose a significant risk to human health. If not promptly addressed, they can severely affect health and even threaten the patient's life. Therefore, stroke patients must immediately go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the type of stroke and receive appropriate treatment.
