Stroke is the most common cause of morbidity and disability and one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. In the Czech Republic, CVA affects up to 40,000 people a year. Therefore, it is necessary to organise care for patients with acute stroke in such a way as to ensure the availability of early diagnosis and effective treatment for these patients throughout the Czech Republic. According to the Ministry of Health Bulletin No. 2/2010, care for patients with acute stroke is provided centrally through a network of Comprehensive Cerebrovascular and Ictal Centres. The Ict Centre of the Jihlava Hospital was included in this network by the Ministry of Health Bulletin No. 8/2010.
It is also necessary to carry out careful prevention in all patients with an increased risk of stroke - screening and timely deployment of treatment that, according to evidence-based medicine, demonstrably reduces this risk. This task is also performed by the Ict Centre in Jihlava through its Cerebrovascular Consultation Centre.
