Although winter has passed, the weather in the north is still relatively cold, and the winter and spring seasons are the most prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The survey results show that there are about 17.3 million people with cerebral infarction in the world every year, and the number of people with cerebral infarction in mainland China accounts for about 5.51 million, and it is rising every year.
The number of patients with cerebral infarction is gradually increasing
It has a lot to do with diet
The number of cerebral infarction patients is increasing every year, and the usual diet has a lot to do with it, because now people's living standards are constantly improving, the cuisine is becoming more and more diverse, and the big fish and meat are also available every day.
A variety of high-sugar, high-salt, high-fat foods are also dazzling, which is also a factor that causes the gradual increase of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Because of these poor eating habits, it will lead to the gradual hardening and blockage of blood vessels, which will slowly affect the blood supply and nutrient delivery of the brain, and may induce cerebral infarction.
Except for a bad diet
Neck lesions can also induce cerebral infarction
Long-term use of computers or mobile phones, as well as low-headed people, etc., suffering from cervical spondylosis is not a minority, if there is a serious cervical disc herniation, it will continue to compress and stimulate the surrounding sympathetic nerves, resulting in sympathetic disorder discharge.
This change will lead to spasm and contraction of the associated blood vessels, so that blood can not flow normally, if the carotid artery and blood vessels in the skull are blocked again, the blood supplied by the heart to the brain will be affected, and there may even be necrosis of the corresponding areas of tissue, eventually causing cerebral infarction.
Cerebral infarction is suspected, and 3 tests are done to confirm the diagnosis
Ultrasonography
Through ultrasonography, it is possible to check whether there is blockage and stenosis of the intracranial aorta, and whether the cerebral blood vessels have hardening and the presence of plaques, evaluate the blood circulation and collateral circulation of the brain, and monitor the condition of blood clots in the cerebral blood vessels, so to a certain extent.
Neurologic examination
In addition to ultrasonography, to determine whether there is a cerebral infarction, it is necessary to go through a neurological examination.
During the outpatient clinic, the doctor will go through some simple neurological examinations to determine whether the muscles and sensory functions are good, so as to find out whether the nervous system tissue of the brain is intact, and infer the situation of cerebral blood vessels and the occurrence of cerebral infarction. If you want to confirm the diagnosis of cerebral infarction, you also need to have a thorough examination of the nervous system.
