Cerebral stroke is stroke, including hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. How long a patient can live depends on the type of stroke, the age of the patient, the location and extent of the lesion, and whether the treatment is timely. Hemorrhagic stroke, also known as cerebral hemorrhage, is mainly caused by hypertension, cerebral vascular malformation, cerebral aneurysm hemorrhage, amyloid cerebrovascular disease, and drug-induced cerebral hemorrhage, with hypertension combined with fine atherosclerosis being the most common. The overall prognosis of cerebral hemorrhage is poor, with the acute mortality rate as high as 30%~40%, and the ten-year survival rate is only 15%~20%, which is related to age, hemorrhage volume and hemorrhage site, and the prognosis is poor for patients with hemorrhage in the brainstem, thalamus and a large number of ventricles. Some patients with less hemorrhage can fully recover with less impact on life expectancy. Ischemic stroke, also known as cerebral infarction, can be divided into large artery atherosclerosis, cardiogenic cerebral infarction, small artery occlusion, other clear causes and unexplained cerebral infarction, the most common is large artery atherosclerosis and cardiogenic cerebral infarction. The 30-day mortality rate of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction is 5-15%, the disability rate is more than 50%, and more than 40% of the patients will recur; cardiogenic cerebral infarction has a worse prognosis than other cerebral infarctions, with a higher disability rate, and the mortality rate in the acute stage is about 15%. For some stroke patients with small lesions, they can live for more than 20 years after active treatment, even without affecting their life expectancy. To prolong the survival of stroke patients, early diagnosis, early treatment, early rehabilitation and early prevention of recurrence should be achieved.
