Unmasking The Silent Threat: Stroke<\/h2>\n

Stroke is the third leading lethal cardiovascular disease in Malaysia that has caused 19,928 deaths, 47,911 incidents and 443,995 prevalent cases reported in 2019. Ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke are two types of strokes. Ischemic stroke is a common stroke that occurs when blood clots or plaques block the major blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain and causes the brain cells underwent necrosis. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when the blood vessel in the brain burst and the leakage exert pressures on neighboring cells, causing more brain cells to rupture.<\/p>\n

The Brain’s SOS: Identification and Respond to Stroke Symptoms<\/h2>\n

Risk of getting stroke becomes an elevating trend towards young adults which ring an alarm on healthcare and early prevention. Challenges arise as the threat of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and hyperlipidemia overhangs modern society due to unhealthy lifestyle, altering the gene expression that leads to stroke. Furthermore, the symptoms often happen out of the blue. Individuals might experience sudden weakness on limbs, dropping of one side of face, blurred vision, speech and understanding difficulty, headache, loss of coordination, and lose consciousness. Once these symptoms are observed, act fast! Call emergency hotline 999 for help, each second is crucial to reduce consequent disabilities through early treatment and save a life.<\/p>\n

Genetic Roadmap: Navigating Stroke Prevention through Genetic Insights<\/h2>\n

Sometimes the symptoms last for a short time (it could be from minutes to hours) and then go away. Unfortunately, many people don’t know the symptoms until it’s too late. With the advancement of genetic technology<\/strong><\/a>, genetic testing comes in handy and allow people to be more proactive by identifying family history and hereditary genetic risk factors that are hidden in your DNA. Over here, using saliva sample, SuperDNA Complete DNA test<\/a><\/strong> helps to screen more than 20 health categories such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. It determines the risk likelihood of developing diseases including stroke and heart attack. If you have the high stroke risk gene, it serves as a good reminder for you to optimize your lifestyle and monitor the possible signs and symptoms.<\/p>\n
