The cerebral blood volume value of gray matter is about 3.5 +/- 0.4 ml/100g, and the white matter is about 1.7 +/- 0.4 ml/100g. The gray matter is nearly twice that of white matter. [3] In both white and gray matter, cerebral blood volume decreases by about 0.50% per year with increasing age. [4]
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is the blood supply to the brain in a given period of time. [8] In an adult, CBF is typically 750 millilitres per minute or 15.8 ± 5.7% of the cardiac output . [ 9 ] This equates to an average perfusion of 50 to 54 millilitres of blood per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute.
Sometimes surgery to directly remove the blood can be therapeutic. [1] Cerebral bleeding affects about 2.5 per 10,000 people each year. [2] It occurs more often in males and older people. [2] About 44% of those affected die within a month. [2] A good outcome occurs in about 20% of those affected. [2]
Instead the blood goes through a collection of small vessels from arteries to veins. These collection of abnormal small vessels is termed as "nidus". This condition happens in 0.1% of the population has a risk of 2 to 4% per year for intracranial bleeding. Once ruptured, it results in intraparenchymal hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage and ...
Recent research indicates that three key blood biomarkers can help predict a woman's risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and stroke. 3 blood biomarkers predict higher risk ...
The 27,939 participants in the long-term Women’s Health Initiative study had blood tests between 1992 and 1995 for low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C or “bad cholesterol”), which are ...
In terms of environmental factors, dietary salt intake is the leading risk factor in the development of hypertension. [7] Salt sensitivity is characterized by an increase in blood pressure with an increase in dietary salt and is associated with various genetic, demographic, and physiological factors— African American populations, postmenopausal women, and older individuals carry a higher ...
“The DASH diet is very similar in concept to the Mediterranean diet but has an emphasis on low sodium intake for heart health, striving for the daily recommended intake of 1500-2300 mg of sodium ...
