There is no such thing as cerebral infarction if blood pressure is controlled within a certain range. Generally speaking, ordinary hypertensive patients can reduce the risk of cerebral infarction by controlling their blood pressure below 140/90mmHg.
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cerebral infarction. Prolonged high blood pressure may lead to endothelial damage, which in turn leads to atherosclerosis. If the atherosclerotic plaque ruptures, falls off, and secondary thrombosis, it may lead to the occurrence of cerebral infarction. The control of blood pressure should be considered according to the patient’s condition and age.
Ordinary hypertensive patients should reduce their blood pressure to <140/90mmHg; hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus or proteinuria nephropathy should be reduced to 130/80mmHg. 65-79 year olds can be reduced to <150/90mmHg according to the specific situation, and if they can tolerate it, it should be further reduced to <140/90mmHg; ≥80 year olds blood pressure should be reduced to <140/90mmHg; blood pressure should be reduced to <140/90mmHg according to the specific situation. Generally reduced to <150/90mmHg.
Hypertension is an important factor in cerebral infarction, other factors can also lead to cerebral infarction, such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, etc., which need to be controlled comprehensively to prevent cerebral infarction.
