Question
Pertaining to cerebrovascular disease (stroke) which of the following statements is/are correct?W. A functional Circle of Willis increases risk for ischaemic stroke.X. Hypertension increases the risk of both ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes.Y. Generally speaking, haemorrhagic strokes occur more frequently than ischaemic strokes.Z. Generally speaking, haemorrhagic strokes are more damaging than ischaemic strokes.Question 60Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct
Solution
The correct answer is c. if only X and Z are correct.
Here's why:
W. A functional Circle of Willis increases risk for ischaemic stroke. - This statement is incorrect. A functional Circle of Willis actually decreases the risk for ischemic stroke because it provides alternative pathways for blood flow if one artery is blocked.
X. Hypertension increases the risk of both ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes. - This statement is correct. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can weaken blood vessels and increase the risk of both types of strokes.
Y. Generally speaking, haemorrhagic strokes occur more frequently than ischaemic strokes. - This statement is incorrect. Ischemic strokes are actually more common than hemorrhagic strokes.
Z. Generally speaking, haemorrhagic strokes are more damaging than ischaemic strokes. - This statement is correct. Although less common, hemorrhagic strokes are often more severe and damaging than ischemic strokes.
