What is vasospasm?

Vasospasm is an event in which blood vessels of convulsions, restrictive and narrowing of the lumen or opening inside the container. There are a number of things that can cause vasospasm. Some people are prone to this and can experience it in response to a wide range of stimuli or randomly. In other cases, an ongoing medical problem exposes someone the risk of vasospasm. Sometimes randomly spasms of blood vessels randomly and it is not possible to determine the cause. Tissue operated by the vascular can experience ischemia, reduce blood supply, which in turn reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients available. If the ischemia is prolonged, tissue death may occur. This can be particularly problematic in the brain and heart muscle, where tissue death can lead to serious complications such as heart attacks. For reasons that are not yet unknown, up to two weeks after rupture and bleeding, patients may experience vasospasm. Crossings are also associated with atherosclerosis, especially around the heart and under certain congenital conditions such as Reynaud's syndrome. People with low body matteralso to be threatened by vasospasm.

For someone who is susceptible to vasospasm, treatment is available. Some medicines can be used to block chemical signals that call blood vessels to grip. However, not all these drugs can be used in the long run and there are some potential risks and complications that differ, depending on the healing, but must be considered before treatment.

It is also possible to adapt the stent so that the blood flow can not close the vasospasm. This ensures that even if the vessel begins with a cramp, it will remain sufficiently open that the ischemia does not occur in the treadmill to supply the vessel.

There are steps that in some cases can be taken to prevent spasms in blood vessels. For example, the treatment of aneurysms before rupture will reduce the risk and also prevent damage that may occur as a result of Burst aneurysm. Prevention of atherosclerosis can also help aboutIn the meantime, the possibility of vasospasm, in addition to supporting good cardiovascular health in general. People with a family history of such problems may want to take more aggressive preventive steps for security.
