Generally speaking, cerebral infarction is more serious.
The cause of cerebral infarction is mainly due to the formation of blood vessel thrombus in the skull and brain, or the dislodgement of embolus of cardiogenic origin into the skull and brain causing the blockage of cerebral arteries, which further makes the necrosis of brain tissues in the area of the blockage of cerebral vascular supply.
Because neurons are non-renewable, necrosis can affect the function of neurons in the area, resulting in coma, epilepsy, hemiplegia, loss of consciousness, and many other symptoms and sequelae, which vary depending on the location of the infarction.
If serious and extensive cerebral infarction occurs, patients may have consciousness disorder, even life-threatening. In addition, if cerebral infarction occurs above the life center such as medulla oblongata, it will also be life-threatening, so it is said that cerebral infarction is very serious.
High blood pressure, high blood fat, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and other high-risk factors of cerebral infarction, such patients need to take regular medication to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction, but once the symptoms of cerebral infarction, we should consult a doctor in time to identify the cause of the disease and then standardize the treatment in order to avoid delaying the condition and endangering the life.
