Cuba Promotes Prevention of Cerebral-Vascular Diseases
Monday, August 14, 2017

Havana.- Cuba's healthcare system is betting on prevention in light of the danger of a cardiovascular disease known as ictus.

According to experts, the disease is the major cause of disability, the second cause of dementia after Alzheimer disease and the third cause of death in Cuba.

In that regard, in order to reduce the risks, health lifestyles must be promoted since early stages of life to protect the vascular system.

Among the factors that favor the disease are ischemic cardiopathies, dyslipidemias, alcoholism and smoking.

Other risk factors are age, gender, skin color and genetic predisposition, thus the need to fight high blood pressure.
