The results of a study by Dutch scientists.
Drinking coffee, sexual intercourse and bismarckiana can cause some types of stroke. To such conclusion the group of scientists in Holland.
During the study 250 patients they identified eight factors associated with intracerebral hemorrhage.
All these factors cause an increase in blood pressure which, in turn, may cause spasm or rupture of the vessel.
At the conclusion of the British Association for the study of stroke, more research is needed to ascertain how these factors can be considered as the immediate cause of a stroke.
Researchers at the medical faculty of Utrecht University during three years observed 250 patients to study the relationships and dependencies in this area.
They found that more than 10% of the cases breaks anevrizmu was caused by coffee drinking.
Causes of rupture of cerebral vessels:
Coffee 10.6% of
Active exercise is 7.9%
Bismarckiana of 5.4%
Sexual intercourse 4,3%
Attempts at defecation 3,6%
Beverages containing Cola of 3.5%
An unexpected fright of 2.7%
A flash of anger at 1.3%
Although coffee increases the risk to 70% only, cause of rupture of the vessels, it becomes significantly more often than all other factors.
Instant fear increases the risk 23 times, but it accounts for only 2.7% of cases.
According to Dr. Monique Vlak, the lead expert group, “all factors lead to momentary sharp increase in blood pressure, which is probably a common cause of rupture of the aneurysm”.
The authors of the study concluded that two percent of people develop aneurysms of cerebral vessels, but only in a small number of cases occur their breaks.
Dr. Vlak advises: “For patients with aneurysms of cerebral vessels reducing the consumption of caffeine or laxative for those with constipation – may reduce the risk of rupture and intracranial bleeding.”
In the study, experts also considered the factors that increase the risk of rupture of aneurismal. Weakens the walls of blood vessels high blood pressure, and it is called obesity, Smoking and lack of physical activity.
Dr. Charlene Ahmed, an employee of the British Association for the study of stroke, commented on the findings of the Dutch scientists: “the Sharp rise in blood pressure can increase the risk of aneurysm rupture. However, it is very difficult to determine whether or not enumerated in this study, the factors are the direct cause of stroke; in many cases, this may be a simple coincidence.”
“A required significant additional research to ensure that each of these factors can directly cause the rupture of the aneurysm,” concludes the British expert.
