Stroke and cerebrovascular disorders are among the most serious neurological conditions, often leading to long-term disability or life-threatening complications if not treated promptly. A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Immediate and expert neurological care is critical to minimize brain damage and improve recovery.

As a trusted Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disorders Specialist in Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR, Dr. Himanshu Shakya provides advanced, timely, and evidence-based care for patients affected by stroke and related vascular conditions of the brain. With extensive experience in neurology and emergency stroke management, he focuses on early diagnosis, acute care, prevention of recurrence, and long-term neurological recovery.

Understanding Stroke & Cerebrovascular Disorders

Cerebrovascular disorders are conditions that affect the blood vessels supplying the brain. When these vessels become blocked, narrowed, or ruptured, brain function is impaired, leading to stroke or transient neurological symptoms.

The main types include:

  • Ischemic Stroke – Caused by blockage of a brain artery due to a blood clot

  • Hemorrhagic Stroke – Caused by bleeding in or around the brain due to vessel rupture

  • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – Often called a “mini-stroke,” a warning sign of future stroke

Early identification and management of these conditions can be life-saving.

Common Causes & Risk Factors

Stroke can occur due to several underlying medical and lifestyle factors, including:

  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

  • Diabetes mellitus

  • High cholesterol

  • Heart rhythm disorders

  • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

  • Obesity and lack of physical activity

  • Chronic stress and poor sleep

Dr. Himanshu Shakya focuses on identifying and controlling these risk factors to prevent first-time and recurrent strokes.

Warning Signs of Stroke

Recognizing early symptoms is critical. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice:

  • Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body

  • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech

  • Facial drooping

  • Sudden vision loss

  • Loss of balance or coordination

  • Severe headache with no known cause

⚠ Stroke is a medical emergency. Every minute matters.
