What is the prognosis of cerebral infarction?

Cerebral infarction is a sudden brain disease that may occur at any age, but is more common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 45-70. The onset of cerebral infarction is usually acute and generally has no symptoms. Once a cerebral infarction occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Many people do not understand what the prognosis of cerebral infarction is. What is the prognosis of cerebral infarction? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What is the prognosis of cerebral infarction?

The prognosis of cerebral infarction depends on the size of the infarct, the location of the infarct, the patient's age, and whether there are complications. The acute mortality rate of patients with cerebral infarction is approximately 5% to 15%, and the disability rate among surviving patients is approximately 50%. Patients with large-area cerebral infarction and brainstem infarction generally have more severe clinical symptoms and signs. Patients may experience impaired consciousness, increased intracranial pressure, and even brain herniation, which may lead to death. Most of the surviving patients may have sequelae. Most patients with small-area cerebral infarction only show symptoms and signs of focal neurological deficits, such as hemiplegia, hemianopsia, and hemisensory impairment. The prognosis of patients is usually good, and generally no sequelae are left. Patients with complications have a poor prognosis and a higher mortality rate.

2. Daily diet for cerebral infarction

5. Patients with cerebral infarction can drink 5-10 ml of vinegar after meals, which can soften blood vessels.

3. Notes

1. Avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods. Avoid or use less whole milk, cream, egg yolk, fatty pork, fatty lamb, fatty beef, liver, offal, butter, lard, tallow, mutton fat, and coconut oil; do not use frying, stir-frying, or grilling for cooking.

2. Avoid foods that are too fatty, sweet, salty, stimulating, or that increase fire and produce phlegm: drink less sweet drinks and cream cakes; avoid eating too much sauce, pickles, etc.

3. Avoid raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods: such as white wine, pepper, spicy hot pot, etc., as well as hot foods such as strong tea, mung beans, lamb, dog meat, etc.

4. Avoid smoking and drinking: Tobacco can damage the endothelium of blood vessels, cause contraction of small blood vessels, and narrow the lumen, making it easy for blood clots to form; drinking large amounts of strong alcohol is harmful to blood vessels. According to surveys, alcoholism is one of the causes of cerebral infarction.

5. Patients with dysphagia can eat sticky foods, such as thick porridge, soft rice, etc. Cook vegetables, minced meat and other side dishes, chop them into small pieces and mix them with the rice. Avoid foods that are too watery or too dry as they are easier to swallow.

6. Patients with dysphagia should avoid choosing traditional capsule preparations as the medicines are difficult to swallow. Removing the capsule shell will make it too bitter and irritating, making it more difficult to swallow and not achieving the desired effect. It is best to choose "spray drying and one-step granulation", the only modern Chinese medicine that has been successfully developed for the second time in my country. Tablets can be broken into pieces and added to porridge or rice. Reduce the pain of medication and, most importantly, do not affect the efficacy of the medication.
