(Adnkronos) - Il presidente della Federazione A.L.I.Ce. Italia, per noi importante la gestione dell’evento acuto nei tempi giusti per salvare neuroni nel nostro cervello, e poi capire strada giusta da seguire per gestire questo effetto collaterale invasivo. L’ictus è la terza causa di morte nel nostro Paese e la prima di invalidità e disabilità. In Italia ci sono 1 milione di persone vive dopo un ictus, con le sue conseguenze per tutta la vita. Il sistema Italia deve trovare la soluzione.

00:00It is really very important that patients, after an ictus, which is a particularly invasive, dramatic event, from which you come out with damage, if you do it, in short, also in people, to have the right information.
00:20so clearly the important thing is that we at Alice, the Association for the Fight Against Ictus, is the management of the ictus in the right times, which are those precious to save neurons in our brain,
00:35so in the right units, arriving very quickly, then the whole process of rehabilitation, then there is a problem, going home after this rehabilitation process with the right information.
00:50For example, this crucial issue of spasticity is one of those information that, since it is a phenomenon, an effect that can come even weeks, even months after the ictus,
01:06often patients, even those who turn to our association, were not ready to understand that these spasms, these particularly invalidating contractures, must be managed.
01:24So it is clear that the exceptional Italian health system must also work on leaving the patient who returns home with the right information and then understand which path must be taken to manage this invasive contracture effect.
01:47The culture of the ictus is one of the most important things from the point of view of communication. The ictus is the third cause of death in our country and the first cause of disability.
02:04So clearly it is such an important issue. I remember that in Italy there are a million people who live more or less with damages that are in the fabric of our society and that are part of a particularly important system.
02:26So it is clear that we must talk about the ictus, we must overcome the taboo of this word, which is scary but with which we must face the facts because unfortunately it is frequent not only for the elderly.
02:40So clearly the whole system must lead us to a management of this issue with a system in which every phase, especially the ictus part, which is the one that lasts for a lifetime,
02:58that is, whoever comes out of an ictus brings with him the effect of that ictus for a lifetime and therefore this is the Italian system, not only the sanitary one but also the social one, which must find the solution.
