Acute cerebrovascular disease, or stroke, can be caused by many different causes. At present, it is generally believed that it can be divided into two major categories: (1) Ischemic cerebrovascular disease. (2) Intracranial hemorrhage. Studies in recent years have proven that the morbidity and mortality rate of ischemic cerebrovascular disease are much higher than those of intracranial hemorrhage. According to Kurtzke's report in 1969, ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounted for 62% of the incidence of cerebrovascular disease, with a death rate of 120 per 100,000 population; while the incidence rate of primary pulmonary hemorrhage was 16%, with a rate of 100,000 per 100,000. The number of deaths among the population is 40 (see Appendix 1). Some authors pointed out that among the most common causes of cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral thrombosis accounts for 40%, cerebral embolism 25%, intracerebral hemorrhage 20%, and subarachnoid hemorrhage 5%. Although many statistics are inconsistent, the general trend is that the incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease has increased relatively in recent years.
