At this stage, cerebral infarction is no longer considered a special disease. Cerebral infarction has become the number one killer threatening the health of the population, and its incidence rate in people over 60 years of age has exceeded 3 per 1,000. In China, there are about 2 million new patients with cerebral infarction every year, and about 70-80% of them are unable to live independently due to disability. At present, the means of prevention and treatment for cerebral infarction are quite mature. In the acute phase, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy are preferred, which can be combined with antiplatelet, neuroprotective, and blood-stasis-activating treatments. The recovery period is mainly a combination of drug and rehabilitation treatments to save the patient’s neurological function to the maximum extent. The prevention of cerebral infarction is mainly the control of risk factors, including diet, exercise, lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, etc.
