Stroke includes ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, and how long one can live is related to the site and area of infarction or hemorrhage, which needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis and cannot be generalized. Ischemic stroke, commonly known as cerebral infarction, is a blockage of the cerebral blood vessels in a certain location, the patient may experience impaired mobility of one side of the limbs, facial paralysis, crooked mouth, etc., which may cause inconvenience to life, but active treatment usually does not affect the patient’s life expectancy. If the infarction is located in the brain stem and other important parts, the patient’s symptoms are more serious, and coma or even long-term bed-ridden situation may occur. Eventually, it may be complicated by aspiration pneumonia, pressure sore infection, etc. The prognosis is poorer and the mortality rate is higher, and the life expectancy is usually within 5 years. In the case of hemorrhagic stroke, commonly known as cerebral hemorrhage, the location of the hemorrhage is relatively not particularly important and the amount of hemorrhage is small, the symptoms may be relatively mild, and the hemorrhage is completely absorbed after active treatment, and the life expectancy is usually not affected. However, if it is a brain stem hemorrhage, only 5ml can be fatal, and the harm is huge. It is recommended that people with high risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia remove the causes of the disease, improve their living habits and take long-term medication to prevent recurrence of stroke.
