Sažetak
Cerebral insult is the first cause of invalidity in the world and in Croatia, and first cause of mortality in Croatia. Epidemiological studies have shown that in the last ten years cerebral insult is the leading cause of morbidity of the population in generative years, witch represent big economic and public health care issue. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cerebral insult and intracranial hemorrhage which we can influence. Incidence of cerebral insult increases proportionally with increase in systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure. Reduction in the level of blood pressure results with decrease and mortality of cerebral ischemia for up to 40%. In cerebral insult occurs, it is very important to have proper neurorehabilitative care of patients because it reduces functional damage and leads to restoration of motoric, sensory and cognitive function. Data of 513 patients with cerebral insult were analyzed. Risk factor were arterial hypertension (85.78%), heart diseases (45.97%), hyperlipemia (43.60%) and diabetes mellitas (27%). There were 5 times higher incidence of ischemic vs. hemorrhagic insult. Acute neurorehabilitation is crucial in recovery after neurological damage, but should include adequate antihypertensive therapy when appropriate.
