A mild or transient stroke that was not treated - a ticking time bomb • Rambam Haifa

Rambam: Patients after a mild or transient stroke who were not treated during the Corona period are a ticking time bomb

Prof. David Tana, director of the Institute for Stroke and Cognition at Rambam, and chairman of the Israel Neurology Association, said Lahi Fe

"There is a real fear of an increase in the number of recurring brain events," he says. These words are said against the background of many people's refusal to go to hospitals in recent months due to the corona virus, a phenomenon which has led to the lack of diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of life-threatening health conditions such as stroke.

"missed" events

"From the data we have, it seems that out of the average number of mild or transient stroke cases in Israel each year, about 40% of them were "missed" in the recent period," explains Prof. Tana and adds, "People did not come to the emergency room for treatment when the first symptoms appeared. The consideration of being infected with Corona outweighed the desire to go to the hospital and treat another health condition, and thus those people who did not heed the warnings that their body signals to them may find themselves in real danger to their lives."

Prof. David Tana of Rambam about the dangers of not cultivating the spiritual event

A warning sign to come

A passing event is a warning sign of things to come. In many cases within a short period of time, the passing event will be followed by another severe stroke. "It is necessary to conduct urgent tests to locate the causes of the transient event, monitor the situation and adjust the preventive treatment in order to prevent the next stroke," warns Prof. Tana,

Rambam at the most important neurology conference in the world

Prof. Tana presented the enormous prevention possibilities of stroke and dementia at an international virtual conference of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), as part of a special meeting held with the World Health Organization and dealing with the burden of neurological morbidity. This is the most important international conference in the field of neurology.

A unique multi-professional institute in Rambam

The Rambam Stroke and Cognition Institute is a unique institute in which a multi-professional team operates that provides diagnosis and treatment to patients after a stroke or transient event and in the prevention of stroke. The institute provides counseling services to patients after a stroke, to patients at risk of cerebral embolism originating from the heart, and to patients with heart problems The arteries in the cervical and cerebral blood vessels. Decision-making in many cases is complex and multidisciplinary. The institute centralizes the obvious, decision-making, treatment and follow-up.

As usual, the institute's staff is available and ready to treat the general public within the framework of physical visits to the institute, as well as in remote medicine in online medical meetings via video.
