Description:An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies the brain is blocked and blood flow is impaired. The resulting lack of oxygen (ischemia) causes brain cells and tissues to start dying within minutes. There are two types of ischemic stroke - thrombotic and embolic. A thrombotic stroke is caused by the development of a thrombus (blood clot) in the arteries supplying blood to the brain whereas an embolic stroke is caused by a blood clot that forms elsewhere in the body and then travels through the bloodstream to the brain. A cardioembolic stroke is an embolic stroke caused by a clot formed in the heart - often in the left atrial appendage. The majority of ischemic strokes occurring in the general population are thrombotic in nature; however, when it comes to strokes related to atrial fibrillation they are more likely to be cardioembolic in nature. Thrombotic and cardioembolic strokes share many risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, heart failure and coronary artery disease. This means that stroke prevention measures known to work in the general population are likely to also benefit atrial fibrillation patients. Thus the whole realm of proven natural stroke prevention agents opens up for the afibber to consider - and what a treasure trove this is! Several natural antithrombotics have been found to be superior to both aspirin and warfarin and have none of their adverse effects. This third edition of Thrombosis and Stroke Prevention retains the valuable information presented in the first and second editions and adds new, up-to-date information about stroke risk factors and schemes for estimating stroke and bleeding risk. It also provides an update of the latest research concerning natural and pharmaceutical antithrombotics and includes a separate chapter covering the pros and cons of the new oral anticoagulants. Finally, it adds a chapter discussing stroke prevention based on occluding (closing off) the left atrial appendage where the vast majority of cardioembolic clots are generated. Sadja Greenwood MD MPH, CA..". Hans clearly explains the body's pathways to form blood clots and to dissolve them, the medications in common use to affect these processes, and the natural alternatives that can be used to help prevent stroke. His analysis will also help to prevent heart attack and blood clots in the lungs. Read this book; it may save your life! Michael Lam MD MPH, CA..". Hans Larsen's knowledge on thrombosis and stroke prevention far exceeds that of most conventional medical specialists in this area. This simple to read, cutting edge manual on natural alternatives to stroke prevention is a must read for anyone contemplating anti-coagulation therapy or simply wanting to prevent a stroke. Norman F. Fisher MD, CA..". Hans is able to explain the intricate mechanisms involved in the underlying causes of thrombosis leading to strokes, he provides us the clinical tests for each of these entities, and then offers a rational preventive means to alter this process. This book is a rich document replete with abundant references and will have a profound impact on patients attempting to understand and modify their risks for thrombosis and stroke, especially those with lone atrial fibrillation. Highly recommended, and a necessary companion to his Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
