How to prevent the incidence of cerebral infarction when people reach middle age? It is very important to do 3 points well, let's take a look

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease ranks first among the causes of death of Chinese residents due to illness, and it is also the biggest cause of sudden death among Chinese residents. The two most common types of sudden death in clinical practice are sudden cardiac death and sudden brain death.

　　In the ranking of cardiovascular disease mortality, ischemic stroke is second only to myocardial infarction, which is also commonly known as cerebral infarction in our daily life!

　　The so-called cerebral infarction refers to the atherosclerosis and stenosis of the patient's originally healthy arteries supplying blood to the brain tissue, the blood vessels become narrower, or the sudden formation of thrombus, which leads to ischemia and oxygen necrosis of the brain tissue. , followed by a series of clinical symptoms.

　　Compared with hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage), the incidence of cerebral infarction is higher, accounting for about 60-70% of all stroke patients , but its mortality rate is slightly lower than that of cerebral hemorrhage.

　　However, ischemic stroke also has the characteristics of high disability rate, high recurrence rate and high mortality rate . Most of the brain is followed to the patient, even if there is no death, there are different degrees of sequelae, including language barriers, central facial paralysis, limb disorders and so on . Moreover, cerebral infarction still has a certain possibility of recurrence, and the condition of patients with each recurrence will worsen.

　　Therefore, from a clinical point of view, the prevention of cerebral infarction is far more important than the treatment. Although the incidence of cerebral infarction in China has shown a younger trend in recent years, it cannot be denied that the patients with cerebral infarction are still mainly middle-aged and elderly. Therefore, after reaching the age of 45, it is necessary to do the following three points:

　　1. Control the primary disease

　　Although cerebral infarction is an acute cerebrovascular disease, it takes quite a long time from healthy blood vessels to cerebral infarction, and it is based on cerebral atherosclerosis.

　　Judging from the current clinical data, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hyperuricemia, etc., are closely related to atherosclerosis . Hypertension, in particular , is an important controllable risk factor for stroke. Therefore, after the diagnosis of this type of disease , the patient should cooperate with the doctor to carry out active drug treatment, and conduct relevant re-examinations on a regular basis;

　　2. Stay away from unhealthy life and diet

　　Studies have confirmed that long-term intake of large amounts of salt and fatty foods (red and fatty meat, cured and processed meat, fried and grilled foods), long-term heavy smoking and drinking, long-term sedentary causes. Obesity, staying up late for a long time, etc. are closely related to the three high diseases and atherosclerosis.

　　Therefore, everyone should quit smoking and drinking in daily life, limit the salt content in the diet, use more fresh fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly, and maintain good sleep habits to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Keep a good attitude

　　Long-term high stress, anxiety, easy anger , etc., will affect the operation of blood pressure through the central nervous system and the hypothalamus , resulting in an abnormal increase in blood pressure.

　　If high blood pressure and atherosclerosis have already developed, severe emotional fluctuations may also cause vasospasm . Once the unstable plaque falls off and forms a thrombus , a stroke may occur. Therefore, in addition to the above two points, it is also necessary to maintain a good attitude and control personal emotions.

　　Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if a patient has suffered one or more strokes, early diagnosis and early treatment should be given, especially to control the further development of the primary disease.

　　For patients who already suffer from the three high diseases, relevant preventive measures should be actively carried out, and only in this way can the recurrence rate of stroke be reduced to a minimum.
