We all know that the incidence of cerebral infarction is the highest among middle-aged and elderly people. Once cerebral infarction occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, it will lead to various adverse consequences, such as facial paralysis, aphasia, and severe hemiplegia, even Life is dangerous. Once disability occurs due to cerebral infarction, it will seriously affect the patient's quality of life and increase the burden on the family. What should patients with cerebral infarction pay attention to? In fact, we should look at it this way. We divide it into two parts. One is about the prevention of cerebral infarction, which is how to do a good job of prevention. On the other hand, it is about health care after cerebral infarction, which is how to do a good job of recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence. Today, let’s talk about how prevents cerebral infarction .
How should we understand cerebral infarction? It is more complicated to explain from a professional medical point of view, and we will not elaborate too much. Simply put, cerebral infarction is the loss of body function caused by the blockage of cerebral blood vessels. Cerebrovascular blockage is the blockage of cerebral arteries. What is the role of our arteries? It is to provide nutrition and oxygen to the brain tissue, so that our brain can function normally, maintain our normal limb activities, normal language expression, and normal thinking.
Once the cerebral artery is blocked, our brain will undergo ischemia and hypoxia and brain tissue necrosis will occur. This necrotic area, if it occurs in our temporal lobe area, will cause us to lose our hearing and language functions, if it occurs in our occipital lobe area, it will affect our visual function, if it occurs in our parietal lobe area, it will affect us. Our motor and coordination function, if it occurs in our frontal area, will affect our mental and thinking functions.
Cerebral infarction occurred in different parts,Will cause different sequelae. So you will see that after a cerebral infarction occurs, some people's mouths are crooked, some have limbs hemiplegia , some have incontinence, some have mental disorders, and some cannot speak clearly. No matter which of the above phenomena occurs, it will seriously affect our lives. Imagine that may be dealing with wheelchairs and hospital beds in the second half of your life. When you want to express a complete sentence to others, you can’t say that it’s hard to pick up chopsticks and eat a bite of rice. Then you realize that [health] 2 Words are too precious!
cerebral infarction prevention
Okay, let’s get back to business. Now that we are aware of the dangers of cerebral infarction, we should take some preventive measures in advance. What do these preventive measures include? In fact, it is the content we often say and hear, but we will organize and emphasize it again today. Before that, let’s take a look at an example, a real case that happened around us:
I have a friend who is in his thirties this year. The family is in business. The business is doing well. How good is it in all aspects, but he The downside is that they often stay up late and live irregularly, love to eat fatty pork and fried food, and smoke for a long time. In addition, his father has a history of high blood pressure and cerebral infarction. He is now paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of himself. Some time ago, he felt tightness in his chest, so he went to the hospital for a series of examinations, and only after checking did he know that his health began to have problems! what is the problem? The electrocardiogram showed that myocardial ischemia , blood test found to have hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, and cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein were seriously exceeded! He is only in his thirties!
What's the problem? The simple explanation is,Of all the risk factors for atherosclerosis, cholesterol and blood lipids are the most direct and important risk factors ! When our blood lipids and cholesterol indicators are much higher than normal values, our arteriosclerosis process will continue to advance. So why these people are more prone to diseases such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and lower extremity arterial occlusion. The myocardial ischemia and chest tightness and chest pain suggested by the electrocardiogram are also indicative of possible insufficient blood supply caused by coronary artery stenosis. If it develops further, it will be coronary heart disease, and the risk of cerebral infarction is also very high. If it takes another five years , The consequences of ten years can be imagined!
From this friend of mine, what have we summed up? Dad’s history of cerebral infarction, hyperlipidemia , hypercholesterolemia, irregular life staying up late, love to eat fat pork, love to eat fried food, long-term smoking. So seeing this, I believe everyone understands it. This is a typical case. I put it here today. On the one hand, I hope to attract everyone’s attention. On the other hand, I want to tell you that these are important risk factors for cerebral infarction . This is indeed a recent case that happened to me. I believe that if you recall carefully, patients with cerebral infarction around you will have these risk factors.
1. Family history. Artery Atherosclerosis is a long-term chronic process, but studies have found that the arterial atherosclerosis also has family aggregation. There are patients with cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction in the family, which should be paid attention to.
2. Hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. We say that high blood lipids and cholesterol are not a good thing, because they accelerate the atherosclerosis process of our body's arteries, and it is easier to form arterial plaques, and plaques are the "culprits" of arteries stenosis and blockage.So to prevent cerebral infarction, please "control your mouth" first.
3. Life is irregular. We stay up all night for various reasons. It doesn't matter if we stay up late occasionally, but staying up late for a long time can cause great damage to the body, especially staying up late for fun. Our parasympathetic nerve takes over our nightlife. It not only puts us into a state of sleep and rest, but also relaxes our blood vessels. Once staying up late for a long time, the sympathetic nerve is abnormally active, not only our body will not be adequately cultivated, but also our blood vessels will be contracted, so that the tissues and organs will not receive sufficient blood supply. Especially middle-aged and elderly people, please don't stay up late!
4. I love fatty and fried foods. Everyone likes delicacies, especially now that all kinds of delicacies are in power, we eat a lot and excess energy will be converted into fat and stored in the body. This is especially true if you eat fatty and fried high-calorie foods. Earlier we said that hyperlipidemia is the "enemy" of arteries, so please don't let the enemy invade your body!
5. Long-term smoking. Whether it is first-hand smoke or second-hand smoke, as long as the carbon monoxide in the smoke is inhaled, the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin will be reduced, and tobacco has a damaging effect on blood vessels. So we often say that smoking is harmful to health. How harmful? I believe you should be more clear today.
The above is today's content, mainly to briefly talk about the common risk factors of cerebral infarction in life. In fact, no matter how you say it, this type of content is inseparable. It is the best [antidote] to improve the awareness of disease prevention. In the next issue, we will talk about the symptoms and health care of cerebral infarction.
Finally, I will summarize for you
1. The cerebral infarction is lurking around us,Prevention is the key.
2. Once a cerebral infarction occurs, it can lead to physical disability and unable to take care of itself.
3. Give examples of which factors are common and important risk factors for cerebral infarction. Take a lesson.
A small question: Do you know some patients with cerebral infarction around you? Welcome message board exchange!
