急性脑血管病是一种严重危害人民身体健康的常见病、多发病。在许多国家和地区中,脑血管病与冠心病、癌肿成为人类疾病死亡居前三位的原因。其严重性日益引起注意,是老年医学的重要研究课题。但迄今为止在脑血管病的发病率、疾病分类、发病原因及机理、预防及治疗等方面还存在不少问题,有待今后努力解决。 Acute cerebrovascular disease is a common disease that seriously endangers the health of the people and frequently occurs. In many countries and regions, cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease and cancer have become the top three causes of human death. Its severity has drawn increasing attention and is an important research topic in geriatrics. However, so far there are still many problems in the incidence of cerebrovascular disease, the classification of the disease, the etiology and mechanism of the disease, prevention and treatment, etc., which are yet to be solved in the future.
