    Stroke is brain disease caused by vascular impairment. There are two aspects of such a disease; the first aspect represents clinical picture of the diseaseand the second represents the cause of the ... disease. The classification with regard to these two aspects is stated. Because of the fact that Europe isa multicultural continent with more than 800.000.000 inhabitants, with many different states as well as languages, such differences can also be observed when mortality rate and incidence of cerebrovascular diseases on this continent are concerned. The annual mortality rate of those suffering from stroke is from 63.5 to 273.4 per100 000 inhabitants, when annually 100 to 200 new cases of these diseases occur per 100.000 inhabitants. Between years 1997 and 2001 the incidence of stroke increased in Slovenia: in the year 1997 therewere 4318 cases, in the year 1998 there were 4416 cases, in the year 1999there were 4441 cases and in the year 2001 there were 4716 cases. In Europe the opinion prevails that stroke should be treated as a state of emergency which needs an immediate hospital treatment. he European Stroke Initiative (EUSI) recommends that all the stroke patients be treated in strokeunits. he experts that constitute the core of multi-disciplinary unit groups: doctors, medical assistants, physiotherapists, work therapists, speechtherapists, neuro-psychologists and social workers who have extensive knowledge of stroke. he fibrinolysis is sometimes the only successful treatment when acute ischemic stroke is concerned - provided that the patient is brought to an outpatient neurology clinic within three hours after suffering the stroke. n Slovenia, between the years 1997 and 2003, 7.4% of thepatients were brought to the clinic in time. 80 patients were treated with the use of fibrinolysis; the success of the treatment was compara ble with theresults in other European countries.
