A 55-year-old man suddenly fainted on the ground after drinking, and his family rushed him to the hospital when he saw this.
Massive cerebral infarction, usually a complete stroke of the carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, or cortical branch, results in necrosis and softening of brain tissue in the area supplied to the artery.
The doctor said that in cerebral infarction, large-scale cerebral infarction is very dangerous, and the mortality rate in the acute phase is as high as 5%~15%.
After his diagnosis, the man was admitted to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he unfortunately passed away just a week later, despite the best efforts of the doctors.
Many people will say that this is too exaggerated, right?
In fact, the main reason is that people who drink alcohol for a long time are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is the main culprit of cerebral atherosclerosis, whether it is cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, it is based on cerebral atherosclerosis.
In fact, drinking alcohol is only one cause of cerebral infarction, as a doctor, I want to remind everyone that there are 3 things not to do to increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
1. Don't stay up late
Regardless of whether your body is good or bad, when you reach middle age, you must not stay up late, many people think that only the elderly will suffer from cerebral infarction, in fact, since middle age, the incidence of cerebral infarction has increased significantly.
People who stay up late for a long time have many injuries to a person's body, people who stay up late, the sympathetic nerve continues to be excited, blood pressure is more likely to rise, heart rate is easier to accelerate, people who stay up late, the biological clock is disordered, the endocrine is also disordered, and the body secretes more stress vasoconstrictor hormones.
According to the scientific journal Cell, staying up late increases prostaglandins in the brain, which can trigger a cytokine storm and increase the inflammatory mediators secreted by the body, which in turn leads to an increase in chronic inflammation and is harmful to health.
Therefore, people who stay up late for a long time are more likely to have a stroke.
2. Don't eat too much high-fat, high-salt, and high-calorie food
Cerebral infarction is actually a disease of wealth, its occurrence is closely related to unhealthy eating habits, many people especially love to eat high-fat, high-salt and high-calorie food, high-fat food will increase blood lipids, high salt will increase blood pressure, high-calorie food makes people fatter, resulting in more susceptibility to diabetes.
All these will aggravate the damage to blood vessels, especially easy to induce cerebral atherosclerosis, and over time, it will make cerebral infarction easier to find.
3. Don't smoke
In a prospective cohort study conducted in China, smoking was associated with a specific risk of stroke events and mortality of up to 14.2% and 7.1% in men compared with 3.1% and 2.4% in women, respectively. In addition, passive smoking increased the overall risk of stroke by 45% and tripled the risk of death after stroke.
Many people know that smoking can harm the lungs, but they don't know that long-term smoking can also damage the cerebral blood vessels, and the nicotine, carbon monoxide and other harmful substances produced by cigarettes when they are burned will damage the cerebral blood vessels, and they will destroy the vascular endothelial cells, and eventually let the cerebral infarction find you.
Therefore, if you want to stay away from cerebral infarction, in addition to actively quitting alcohol, there are the above 3 things must be kept away, many people have been paralyzed in bed in middle age, the mortality and disability rate caused by cerebral infarction is very high, the incidence of cerebral infarction in the mainland ranks first in the world, cerebral infarction is not an unpreventable disease, in fact, maintaining good living habits can prevent a large part of cerebral infarction.
