Is the maximum life expectancy of a mild cerebral infarction 20 years?

  Brain infarction can be mild or severe, and life expectancy varies depending on the condition. After cerebral infarction, the lesion will permanently remain on imaging, but patients with minor cerebral infarction can be treated without any sequelae and without affecting the quality of life, but long-term medication is required to prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction.  The severity and prognosis of patients with cerebral infarction are related to the site of the infarction, whether it affects the corresponding functional area, the size of the infarct foci, the patient’s vascular condition, and whether the patient has risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and a history of smoking and alcohol consumption. Generally speaking, for lacunar cerebral infarction with very small area, cerebral infarction with no severe stenosis of large blood vessels, and cerebral infarction with few risk factors and mild symptoms, patients can only have symptoms such as slight slanting of the mouth and tongue, hemiplegia, unfavorable speech, etc. We should make full use of modern diagnosis and treatment technology to clarify the causes of cerebral infarction and carry out targeted prevention and treatment for the causes, so that patients can take care of their own lives and even do not leave In order to achieve the purpose of cure, we should make full use of modern treatment technology to clarify the causes of cerebral infarction and carry out targeted prevention and treatment for the causes, so that patients can take care of themselves and even not leave sequelae.
