Cerebral infarction , also known as ischemic stroke , is a type of cerebrovascular disease with a high incidence rate. Due to local brain blood circulation disorders, insufficient blood irrigation and other reasons, it leads to ischemic necrosis or softening of , and corresponding symptoms of neurological deficit.
Cerebral infarction is a disease that seriously endangers people's health. acute cerebral infarction is onset and has a very high mortality and disability rate . Therefore, it is very important to know the causes of cerebral infarction and prevent it as soon as possible. Research data shows that there are more patients with cerebral infarction in rural areas than in urban cerebral infarction. The main reasons are 5, but 3 of them are easily overlooked by everyone.
1. Rural cerebral infarction patients, more than cities! There are these reasons.
. The above mentioned that there are 5 main reasons for the large number of patients with cerebral infarction in rural areas. Let’s first understand what are the first two common causes.
The first is smoking . Some people may say that there are many smokers in cities, and this is true. However, the current urban ban is relatively strong and people's concept of health and wellness has been improved. Therefore, compared with most people who live in rural areas all year round, the smoking rate of urban people is less. We all know that smoking is harmful to health, and the specific reasons are as follows.
The harmful substances in cigarettes nicotine , etc. will enter human tissues through the lungs, causing the increase of carbon monoxide concentration in the body, which will cause the increase of globulin in the body. The permeability of vascularity increases , which will make globulin easily deposited on the blood vessel wall to form arteriosclerosis , and arteriosclerosis is the main prerequisite for cerebral infarction. Therefore, people in cities and rural areas should quit smoking as soon as possible to reduce the risk of disease.
The second common reason is drinking . We will find that drinking is very common among rural people. Some people have to drink when they wake up in the morning. Not only that, sometimes when walking in the markets in towns, you can see many men drinking in big mouthfuls. This is one of the reasons why the incidence of cerebral infarction in rural populations is greater than that of urban populations.
After drinking a lot of alcohol, the alcohol concentration in blood will reach a peak in half an hour, which will stimulate the blood vessel wall to lose its elasticity. It can also promote the synthesis of of triglyceride in liver, eventually causing arteriosclerosis and speed up the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Next we talk about three reasons that are easy to be ignored by everyone.
On the one hand, most rural people tend to have a heavy-tasting diet, because people lacked food supplies in the early days. In order to fill their stomachs, the older generation would add more salt to the dishes. This habit has been maintained until now. This has led to the fact that most rural people now consume excessive salt every day, which leads to more cerebral infarction in rural areas than in cities.
Excessive salt will cause the level of sodium ion in the blood to increase , reduce the elasticity of blood vessel walls, reduce the ability of vascular to withstand blood flow rate, increase the chance of primary hypertension , and gradually increase the incidence of cerebral infarction.
On the other hand, most people in rural areas eat fresh fruits and vegetables at a lower proportion, , which leads to a decrease in their body's vitamins and folic acid content. Therefore, many people have an increase in the homocysteine index during physical examination. This indicator is the main factor causing hypertension and , which in turn increases the risk of cerebral infarction.
There are even studies that show that high homocysteine will increase the probability of cerebral infarction in the body by 12 times. So when it is found that the index of homocysteine is higher than 15 , everyone should supplement folic acid under the guidance of a doctor.
Finally, most rural people like to pickle pickles at their own homes, because pickles can have a longer shelf life. But in fact, it is precisely this reason that the chance of cerebral infarction among rural people is increased. During the pickling process, pickles need to add a lot of salt and other condiments.
These condiments will increase the body's blood viscosity, making the blood vessel lumen narrow, and thus cause a large amount of blood to accumulate in one place, causing blood to stick, and eventually lead to thrombosis. When the thrombus runs to the cerebral blood vessels with , it will increase the incidence of cerebral infarction.
I hope that by reading this article, you can reduce these practices and ensure the health of the body. In addition, there are some symptoms in our daily lives that are prone to neglect, which can also lead to cerebral infarction.
2. Be alert to cerebral infarction often!
Among all kinds of heart diseases, there is a disease that is very dangerous but is often overlooked by everyone, which is atrial fibrillation . Patients with atrial fibrillation will experience arrhythmia , irregular pulse and sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
In clinical practice, when atrial fibrillation occurs, patients will have symptoms such as palpitations, palpitations, , dizziness, and dizziness. Because these conditions are more paroxysmal and the time is short, it is easy to be ignored by people. This leads to inadequate treatment and eventually leads to cerebral infarction.
According to statistics, the risk of in patients with atrial fibrillation is 5 times that of normal people. That is to say, one in every 5 patients with cerebral infarction is caused by atrial fibrillation. The atria seem to be far from the brain, but they are all connected by blood vessels .
When atrial fibrillation, the atrium cannot effectively contract, and the blood flow in the atrium will be relatively slow , and over time it will easily stagnate and form thrombosis. Once these blood clots (blood clots) fall off, they will be taken to all parts of the body along the blood vessels. If they are all in the blood vessels in the brain, they will cause cerebral infarction!
Therefore, when you have palpitations and panic, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If is diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, you must take medication regularly under the guidance of a doctor, and maintain a healthy lifestyle in your daily life. treats basic cardiovascular diseases and avoids atrial fibrillation eventually causing cerebral infarction .
Cerebral infarction caused by atrial fibrillation will have specific symptoms, such as numbness on one side of , skewed corners of the mouth , etc. In clinical practice, there is a type of cerebral infarction that is asymptomatic cerebral infarction, but its harm cannot be underestimated by .
3. Asymptomatic cerebral infarction, be careful of dementia!
In life, some people go to the hospital for because of dizziness and headache, but they find that there are many small infarcts in the brain of ; some people who feel that they have no symptoms in their normal brain are found to have small infarcts in during physical examinations. These cerebral infarctions without specific symptoms are called asymptomatic cerebral infarction.
Studies have shown that the risk of symptomatic cerebral infarction after 35 years is 3% to 10%, which is twice that of healthy people. It is also worth noting that if patients with cerebral infarction have new asymptomatic cerebral infarction within one month after the onset of the disease, the risk of recurrence of cerebral infarction will increase.
But many people in life think that this kind of cerebral infarction has no symptoms and can not treat if it does not affect normal life. This idea is very wrong.
Asymptomatic cerebral infarction patients, if not controlled in time, it will lead to the continuous expansion of the infarction foci or the formation of new infarction foci in important areas of the brain. develops into symptomatic cerebral infarction, causing patients to hemiplegia , aphasia and dementia , seriously affecting the patient's cognitive level and motor function, and bringing great burden to the family and society.
Therefore, asymptomatic cerebral infarction and symptomatic cerebral infarction are also extremely harmful. For asymptomatic cerebral infarction patients, should also be diagnosed and treated early. This is of great significance to improving the prognosis of asymptomatic cerebral infarction.
4. Some things family members should know when acute cerebral infarction occurs!
Through the above article, we learned whether patients with cerebral infarction have symptoms and symptoms, but both are very harmful to our bodies. Among them, if acute cerebral infarction occurs, and if treatment is not done in time, serious complications will be left, such as , such as hemiplegia, dementia, etc. . Therefore, when acute cerebral infarction occurs, the family must seize the most critical treatment time to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction complications.
When acute cerebral infarction occurs, the most important thing is to call first emergency number . Some patients with cerebral infarction may experience coma. At this time, while waiting for medical treatment, the family members should do the following 3 points: do not stimulate or move the patient to avoid aggravate their brain damage .
tilts the patient's head to one side , because the increased intracranial pressure caused by cerebral infarction may lead to nausea and vomiting. If a coma patient vomits, he will suction the vomit, that is, inhaling these objects into the lungs. Asphyxiation may occur during this process, so tilting the head to one side can reduce the risk of not suctioning.
Some patients may have convulsions. At this time, should not force the patient to stop convulsions. Otherwise, it may damage the patient's muscles and bones. The correct way is to remove the hard objects around to avoid the patient's damage.
Finally, I will teach you a little trick to judge whether you have cerebral infarction. "120 Rules": "1" means smiling in front of a mirror, observe whether the corners of the mouth on both sides are symmetrical; "2" means lifting both arms flat to observe whether has unilateral limb weakness ; "0" means listening to language and observing whether is unclear, has difficulty expressing, or cannot understand other people's speech .
If these conditions occur, everyone must seek medical treatment as soon as possible, clarify the cause of the disease with the help of the doctor, and treat it as soon as possible. #Health True Notes#
