What causes acute cerebral infarction?

Acute cerebral infarction is one of many elderly diseases. In addition to suffering from Alzheimer's disease, acute cerebral infarction can also endanger personal health and cause intellectual problems in patients. Patients with acute cerebral infarction should pay attention to it in their daily lives. Most of them are caused by irregular lifestyles, long-term smoking and drinking, staying up late, not paying attention to arranging their own physical examinations, and often accompanied by high blood pressure and diabetes. These are the causes of recurrence of acute cerebral infarction.

Oral administration

1. Blood circulation and blood stasis removal method

Many Chinese medicine scholars believe that blood stasis is the basic pathogenesis of cerebral infarction and runs through the entire course of the disease. Therefore, the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis has become the basic method for treating cerebral infarction and runs through the entire treatment. Hu Yueqiang et al. used Qingre Huatan Granules, which have the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, to treat 35 cases of cerebral infarction due to wind-fire, phlegm and blood stasis blocking the meridians, and randomly compared them with 34 cases in the control group. Results: The markedly effective rate and total effective rate of the treatment group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). The treatment group was also better than the control group in terms of TCM syndrome efficacy and TCM syndrome integral value (P<0.05). The treatment group was better than the control group in terms of improving nerve function and reducing Pt adhesion rate and Fbg content (P<0.05). Tian Rongxiang used Tanfuling Decoction No. 2, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, to treat 56 cases of cerebral infarction, with a total effective rate of 98%.

2. Qi-invigorating and blood-activating method

Many doctors believe that the main cause of cerebral infarction is qi deficiency and blood stasis, and the pathogenesis is that qi deficiency and blood stasis block the brain meridians and cause meridian malnutrition. Therefore, the method of invigorating qi and activating blood circulation is the fundamental way and important method to prevent and treat cerebral infarction. Traditionally, it is mostly used for patients in the sequelae stage, with Buyang Huanwu Decoction being its representative. With the deepening of understanding of stroke and the accumulation of clinical experience, the method of invigorating qi and activating blood circulation has been widely used in the acute stage of cerebral infarction in recent years and achieved good results. Liu Lanyin used Huayu Xiaoshuan Decoction (45-60g of Astragalus, 30g each of Pueraria lobata and Salvia miltiorrhiza, 15g each of Chuanxiong, Red Peony Root, Carthamus tinctorius, and Acorus calamus, 10g each of Gastrodia elata, Tangerine peel, and Bombyx batryticatus, and 20g of Forsythia suspensa) to treat 60 cases of cerebral infarction, with an overall effective rate of 96.67%. Li Mingkui used Guilong Tongmai Decoction (astragalus, safflower, peach kernel, chuanxiong, angelica, kudzu root, etc.) to treat 132 cases of cerebral infarction, with a total effective rate of 92.42%. Compared with the control group, the blood lipid levels and blood rheology indicators of the treatment group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). Cha Baodong's self-prescribed Huangqi Jiuwu Decoction (20-50g of Astragalus, 20g of Codonopsis, 10g of Bombyx Batryticatus, 10g of Ligusticum chuanxiong, 10g of Angelica dahurica fried with wine, 10g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 10g of Poria, 7g of Achyranthes bidentata, 5g of Licorice, 10g of White Peony Root, and 10g of Pheretima) was used to treat 21 cases of cerebral infarction, achieving good results. Zhang Daojie and others used Buyang Huanwu Decoction to treat early cerebral infarction. In addition to using Qi-invigorating drugs, they also used blood-dissolving drugs, which significantly improved the clinical efficacy. Cong Chun used the method of invigorating qi, activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals to treat 30 patients with cerebral thrombosis, with a significant efficacy of 96.67%.

Methods/Steps

1. Hypertension and diabetes

The risk of cerebral infarction in patients with hypertension is 7 times higher than that in normal people. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping blood pressure within the normal range to avoid cerebral infarction. The risk of cerebral infarction in diabetic patients is also significantly higher than that in non-diabetic patients.

2. Irregular lifestyle

In addition, an irregular lifestyle, such as staying up late, irregular or unreasonable diet, and excessive work pressure can also lead to cerebral infarction. Sometimes viruses invading cerebral blood vessels may also cause cerebral infarction.

3. Smoking and drinking :

Clinical studies have shown that more than 50% of patients with cerebral infarction have a history of long-term smoking and drinking. Because smoking can cause an increase in the lipid and fibrinogen levels in the blood, and increase blood viscosity. Drinking alcohol will increase the alcohol content in the blood, causing cerebral vasoconstriction and spasm.

Precautions

The above content is the cause of cerebral infarction. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. We would like to remind everyone that in daily life, they should eat a balanced diet, not smoke or drink, exercise appropriately, and actively prevent cerebral infarction.
