Chance of recurrence of cerebral infarction

In fact, cerebral infarction is mostly caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and old infarction is also a relatively serious disease, because the mortality rate after cerebral infarction is particularly high, and even if there is no death, the probability of human disability caused by it is also very high. People who have suffered cerebral infarction must pay attention to their recovery in daily life. So what is the probability of recurrence of cerebral infarction after recovery?

Among many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral infarction has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality and high disability rate. Whether you are a high-risk group for cerebral infarction or a cerebral infarction patient who is receiving treatment and recovering, you should pay attention to preventing the occurrence or recurrence of cerebral infarction in your daily life!

In recent years, the incidence of cerebral infarction has increased year by year, and the incidence trend is becoming younger and younger. However, many patients with cerebral infarction recover after treatment. However, if you do not pay attention to daily details, it can easily lead to a recurrence of cerebral infarction. In this regard, what factors in life are likely to cause recurrence of cerebral infarction? What are the measures to prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction?

What factors are likely to cause recurrence of cerebral infarction?

1. Interruption of treatment

People always have this mentality: taking too much medicine is bad for the body. Therefore, many patients with cerebral infarction will subconsciously stop taking medication when their condition is under control and no other symptoms appear. But in fact, there is still a chance of cerebral embolism reappearing after it is eliminated. The prognosis of cerebral infarction cannot be improved by stopping taking anti-atherosclerotic drugs at will.

2. Seasonal changes

Perhaps you don’t know yet, but when seasons change and people are stimulated by cold air, the incidence of cerebral infarction will be higher than before. The reason is that cold air will stimulate blood vessel contraction, increase blood concentration and viscosity, and easily lead to cerebral infarction. In addition, excessive blood pressure reduction is also one of the reasons that induce recurrence of cerebral infarction.

3. Irregular life

As cerebral infarction tends to occur at a younger age, many patients do not pay attention to their daily routine after recovery, and socializing, smoking and drinking are common occurrences. However, what they don’t know is that excessive fatigue and lack of rest can make recurrence of cerebral infarction more likely; smoking can easily cause vasoconstriction, increasing the risk of cerebral infarction; and drinking heavy alcohol not only damages the liver, but also the blood vessels, thereby increasing the chance of recurrence of cerebral infarction.

What are the risks of recurrent cerebral infarction?

When a cerebral infarction first occurs, it is already very difficult for the patient to take care of himself. If a patient gradually recovers after treatment and then has a recurrence of cerebral infarction, it will not only aggravate the clinical symptoms, but also increase the patient's psychological and financial burdens. What’s more frightening is that a recurrence of cerebral infarction will increase the risk of death.

What are the ways to prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction?

Since cerebral embolism may recur after elimination, prevention of recurrence of cerebral infarction includes the following aspects in addition to continuous drug treatment:

Improve your diet

High blood pressure and excessive blood viscosity are one of the causes of cerebral infarction, so you should pay attention to keeping your daily diet light and diverse, and use lipid-lowering diet therapy based on the characteristics of food. For example, eating foods containing potassium can help prevent stroke; eating foods containing calcium and zinc can help reduce vasoconstriction and prevent high blood pressure.

Increase your exercise

Moderate daily physical exercise is an important factor in improving physical fitness. Persisting in physical exercise can not only help the body consume excess fat deposits, but also accelerate blood circulation and reduce blood congestion, which is very helpful in preventing the recurrence of cerebral infarction.

The effective exercise method to prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction needs to be determined by personal physical fitness. You should choose physical exercise that is suitable for you without feeling tired, such as Tai Chi, walking, jogging, etc.

Good attitude

The researchers also found that people who suffer from negative emotions for a long time will have abnormal vascular neuroregulation, which may cause cerebral vasoconstriction and lead to cerebral infarction. It can be seen that maintaining a good attitude in daily life can not only prolong life, but also effectively prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction.

If you can do the above points well, the incidence and recurrence rate of cerebral infarction can be effectively reduced. For your own health and your family's peace of mind, you must pay more attention to it!
