The weather turned cold after the cerebral infarction.

Cerebral infarction has high disability rate, high mortality rate and high recurrence rate, which is frightening. The cure of a cerebral infarction attack is not the end of the disease, but how to prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction is the focus of cerebral infarction.

Because cerebral infarction is cerebrovascular disease, in the final analysis, it is a problem with cerebrovascular disease. However, the current scientific level can not "repair" the damaged or hardened cerebral vascular endothelium. What we can do is to curb the further deterioration of cerebrovascular disease as much as possible.

Therefore, the recurrence rate of cerebrovascular diseases is still high.

Secondly, the patient's secondary prevention is not done well. According to the statistical results of the Brain Prevention Committee, the proportion of patients with cerebral infarction who have been effectively prevented has increased compared with before, but it is still worrying. Secondary prevention of cerebral infarction can effectively reduce the recurrence of cerebral infarction, and relevant research conclusions have been made in Europe and America as early as 20 years ago.

As the old saying goes, the old man is a hurdle in winter. Not only cerebrovascular diseases, but also cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. It is easy to get worse in winter for various reasons.

The temperature is low in winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and the temperature is even lower when the sun shines. Winter is also prone to bad weather, such as strong winds and heavy snow, which further aggravates the low temperature.

Low temperature is not good for blood vessels, and it is easy to cause vasoconstriction, which leads to the increase of heart rate and blood pressure and aggravates the burden on the heart. If the heart and brain are not separated, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will easily recur.

In winter, because of the cold weather, people like to eat some high-calorie foods. Some people usually do a low-salt and low-fat diet, and it is easy to make taboos in winter. Some friends like to drink in winter to drive away the cold, which is also very unscientific.

Drinking makes people feel warm because alcohol can stimulate the capillaries on the body surface, make the blood vessels swell and speed up the blood flow.

Blood stored in organs such as the human liver will also flow to the body surface, and people will naturally feel fever on the body surface.

But this is only a temporary phenomenon, because the body radiates heat faster and pays more calories than alcohol. Especially in winter, the outside temperature is lower than the human body, and it is easier to lose heat.

Not to mention the harm of drinking to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Again, many people usually control it very well, but they are taboo in winter.

Above I talked about why cerebral infarction is easy to recur in winter. Next, let's talk about how to prevent cerebral infarction in winter.

Dr. Wang said that different causes of cerebral infarction have different preventive measures, but some measures are the same. For example, keep warm and eat healthily.

First of all, keep the whole house warm, and pay attention to humidity when the temperature reaches the standard. Excessive drying can also make people feel uncomfortable. Some rural families are used to using briquette stoves or firewood for heating, which should also pay attention to ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

I have talked a lot about healthy eating before, and it is important to be careful not to change eating habits excessively because of seasonal changes.

Well, the focus of this article is also difficult. Attention, everyone, take notes!

Cerebral infarction can be roughly divided into four categories from the etiology, and each category has differences.

You can watch my video about what is in situ thrombosis. If you don't understand, please leave a message in the comments section.

What is in situ thrombosis?

Thrombosis in situ means narrowing of blood vessels themselves. Anti-platelet aggregation is the main method for its prevention. The most common anti-platelet aggregation drugs are aspirin enteric-coated tablets, clopidogrel tablets and indomethacin, and statins are also used to reduce blood lipid. The combination of double swords can ensure winter safety. Remember to take medicine on time.

About what is cardiogenic stroke (cerebral embolism), you can watch my video. If you don't understand, please leave a message in the comments section.

What is cerebral embolism?

Cardiogenic stroke generally has little cerebrovascular problem, but there is something wrong with the heart, and the most common one is atrial fibrillation. To put it bluntly, the heartbeat is irregular, very irregular!

In this way, the blood flow in blood vessels is not a calm laminar flow, but a chaotic turbulent flow.

This kind of blood is easy to form thrombus, or the thrombus on the blood vessel wall is sunken, and the thrombus flows with the blood and blocks the downstream blood vessels, which is cardiogenic stroke.

Cardiogenic stroke is not treated with antiplatelet aggregation drugs, but with anticoagulants, such as warfarin, argatroban, rivaroxaban, idoxaban and dabigatran. Statins were used on the basis of anticoagulation.

In addition to the above, there are other special diseases, such as vasculitis, tumor-related diseases, genetic-related diseases, infectious diseases, blood system diseases and so on.

These situations are complicated and cannot be summarized in one or two sentences. Therefore, special problems need special treatment, and it is particularly important to actively treat the primary disease.

It is really difficult to distinguish the causes of some cerebral infarction, or it is caused by many reasons, so it is particularly important to consider a variety of factors comprehensively.

The doctor's experience is also very important.

Welcome to pay attention to Dr. Wang, a neurologist. Medicine is not lost.
