What is medication treatment of ischemic encephalopathy for adults? men 54 years old is sick for 20 years. dizziness, tremor, headages, weakness.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Encephalopathy: Ischemia is tissue damage from poor blood flow. If blood flow cannot be restored by stenting a blocked vessel, then usually we focus on managing cholesterol, blood pressure and other conditions which damage blood vessels like diabetes and smoking. A neurology consultation is needed.
