Vascular Health Management
In recent years, the number of strokes in Hong Kong has increased significantly and become one of the leading cause of death in Hong Kong. Part of the nerve cells can become necrotic when the brain tissue cannot get enough nourishment and oxygen, due to the blockage and bursting of the blood vessels in the brain and lead to brain injury. Severe cases may result in coma or death. Thus, performing regular Vascular Health Management is one of the effective prevention methods.
Cognitive Health Management
Dementia is one of the brain diseases and are caused by abnormal brain changes. Nerve cells in different areas of the brain become damaged and eventually die which lead to brain atrophy and degeneration in brain function.
