Blood pressure mechanism of cold wave-induced stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Cold wave will increase the incidence of stroke,especially in individuals with vascular disease such as hypertension.The blood pressure fluctuations induced by cold wave may be the main cause of stroke onset.The main responsible mechanisms for blood pressure changes are related to hormone changes,vasomotor factor disorders,calcium channel changes,hemodynamic changes,etc.All of these,the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a leading role.Therefore,actively taking warm measures during cold wave can effectively prevent the occurrence of stroke.
