What is the difference between cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction

In clinical practice, many diseases have very similar names, which makes it difficult for people to understand. It is also easy to confuse two diseases with similar names, causing certain troubles in treatment. Cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction are two such diseases. Many people do not know much about these two diseases, so they are often easily confused. So, what is the difference between cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction?

Cerebral infarction is also known as ischemic stroke, which is called stroke or infarction in traditional Chinese medicine. This disease is caused by various reasons that lead to obstruction of blood supply to local brain tissue areas, resulting in ischemic and hypoxic lesions and necrosis of brain tissue, and then producing corresponding clinical manifestations of neurological dysfunction.

Cerebral infarction - infarction of the brain, after the artery is blocked, the corresponding part of the brain tissue is destroyed and may be accompanied by bleeding. The pathogenesis is thrombosis or embolism, and the nature of the symptoms varies depending on the blood vessels affected by the lesions.

Western medicine treatment of cerebral infarction:

The treatment of this disease is basically the same as that of cerebral thrombosis. Hypertension should be actively treated, especially for those with a history of lacunar infarction, to prevent recurrence. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing blood pressure from dropping too quickly or too low.

Acute phase

The principle is to improve blood circulation in the ischemic area of ​​the brain as soon as possible and promote recovery of neurological function.

1. Relieve cerebral edema: For patients with large and severe infarction areas, dehydrating agents or diuretics can be used.

2. Improve microcirculation: Low molecular weight dextran can be used to reduce blood viscosity and improve microcirculation.

3. Dilute the blood:

① Isovolumetric hemodilution therapy: venous blood removal and replacement of an equal amount of fluid at the same time;

② High-volume hemodilution therapy: intravenous injection of fluid that does not contain blood to achieve the purpose of volume expansion.

4. Thrombolysis: ① Streptokinase. ②Urokinase.

5. Anticoagulation: used to prevent blood clot extension and the occurrence of new blood clots. ①Heparin. ②Dicoumarin.

6. Vasodilator: It is generally believed that the effect of vasodilators is uncertain. For patients with severe increased intracranial pressure, it can sometimes aggravate the condition, so it is not recommended to use them in the early stage.

7. Others: This disease can also be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, extracorporeal counterpulsation therapy and photon blood therapy.

Recovery period

Continue to strengthen the functional training of paralyzed limbs and speech functions. In addition to medication, physical therapy, body therapy and acupuncture can be used in combination.

TCM treatment of cerebral infarction:

Traditional Chinese medicine methods for treating cerebral infarction, the prevention and treatment of blood circulation and blood stasis, aromatic invigorating, lipid-lowering and anticoagulant dual-effect long-acting Chinese patent medicines, can effectively improve physical symptoms and prevent recurrence and progression. For example, Tianxintai Thrombosis Xinmaining Tablets, a large compound authentic Chinese patent medicine containing precious medicinal materials such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Ligusticum chuanxiong, musk, and in vitro cultivated bezoar, has a very good therapeutic effect of the blood circulation and blood stasis removal method.

Both cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction are brain diseases, and both have a certain relationship with blood vessels. Therefore, it is recommended that you should eat more foods that are beneficial to blood vessels in your daily life to ensure that blood can flow smoothly throughout the body. In addition, you should maintain a certain amount of exercise every day. When your body is strong, your resistance to various diseases will naturally become stronger.
