What Are the Common After Effects of a Stroke?

Stroke can also be called stroke. With the changes in modern diet and lifestyle changes, the incidence of stroke has been increasing year by year, and it has become one of the major diseases affecting human health. With the improvement and improvement of medical standards Many stroke patients can continue their life after timely and standardized treatment, but these patients often suffer from the sequelae of limbs, movements, language disorders, etc. due to damage to the central nervous system of the brain, which affects the normal quality of life of patients and gives patients I, the family, and the society bring a huge material and spiritual burden.

Etiology of stroke sequelae and related diseases

The etiology of stroke has not been elucidated today, and the risk factors of stroke are now considered to be: hypertension, obesity, smoking and drinking, heart disease, drinking water quality, genetics, salt intake, etc., which cause its sequelae.

1.Hypertension

Hypertension is the main risk factor for cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and the main basis is that there is a linear relationship between the level of blood pressure and the risk of stroke. This has been confirmed by numerous studies over the years.

Heart disease

Cardiac dysfunction can not only cause persistent high blood pressure and damage to the vascular system, but also directly lead to stroke.

3.Diabetes

The relationship between clinical diabetes and stroke is positive, and even mild glucose metabolism disorders predict an increased risk of cerebral infarction. Women with diabetes are more at risk for stroke than men.

4. Obesity

Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertension and diabetes. Changes in body weight are related to elevated cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Therefore, it is speculated that obesity may be a risk factor for stroke.

5.Smoking

Smoking is related to stroke. Men who smoke heavily are almost three times more likely to have a stroke than nonsmokers.

Differential diagnosis of stroke sequelae

The diagnosis of stroke sequelae must first determine the stroke, and then determine the sequelae of stroke based on the history, complaints, and clinical signs.

Stroke mainly includes cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. CT is the most important method for diagnosing the acute phase of the disease. Accurate and timely diagnosis can make effective symptomatic treatment as early as possible, improve prognosis and reduce mortality.

Ischemic cerebral infarction in the acute phase of CT showed wedge-shaped or fan-shaped low-density areas, the edges are unclear, the infarcted area is consistent with the blood supply area of the closed blood vessels, and the cortex and medulla are involved. strengthen. The chronic phase is characterized by a cystic cavity with an approximate cerebrospinal fluid density, the enlarged ventricle on the affected side, the cerebral cistern widens, and the enhanced scan does not intensify. Lacunar cerebral infarction CT manifests as a low-density focus with clear edges less than 1.0-1.5 cm in diameter, with no obvious occupancy effect, and is more common in the basal ganglia and brain stem. Hemorrhagic cerebral infarction CT manifests as spotted or patchy high-density foci in large, low-density areas. Large-area cerebral infarction CT manifests as a large, low-density area uniformly distributed according to the blood supply area of the infarcted blood vessels, and has a significant space effect. The lesion can occupy 1 leaf or more. Large-scale cerebral infarction is a clinically severe cerebral infarction with a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate, so correct early diagnosis is particularly important.

Intracerebral hemorrhage CT manifests as a uniform, high-density area in the brain that is round, kidney-shaped, or irregularly shaped, with a clear outline and a low-density edema band around it, which has a significant space effect. CT of subarachnoid hemorrhage showed high-density shadows that meandered through the cistern, sulcus and cerebral fissure. CT of hemorrhagic cerebral infarction is characterized by irregular high-density hemorrhage in large areas of low-density. It can be seen that the CT manifestation of ischemic stroke is a low-density lesion; the CT manifestation of hemorrhagic stroke is a high-density lesion.

Principles of stroke sequelae treatment

Give cerebrolysin, enteric-coated aspirin, brain rehabilitation, etc., 30ml of cerebrolysin was added intravenously into 250ml saline, once a day; enteric-coated aspirin 75mg orally; 8g of brain rehabilitation added 5% glucose 250ml Intravenous infusion, once a day, 15 days is a course of treatment.
