Aphasia due to cerebral infarction is not a determining factor in the patient’s life expectancy. The length of time a patient with a cerebral infarction lives depends on the severity of neurologic impairment and the presence or absence of fatal complications (e.g., brainstem infarction) and is not necessarily related to aphasia due to cerebral infarction. If the patient’s National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is less than 7, cerebral infarction does not significantly affect the patient’s life expectancy. With adherence to standardized treatment, patients can survive normally for 30 or even 40 years or more. Of course, some extreme special cases, such as large infarcts, such as brainstem infarcts and large cerebellar infarcts. These large, critical infarcts can cause secondary cerebral edema, which directly affects vital centers such as respiration and circulation, resulting in unstable vital signs and immediate death. In general, the biggest obstacle for patients who have survived after formal treatment is the limitation of movement and living ability. If these patients are well cared for, normal life expectancy is usually not affected. It is recommended that patients seek prompt medical attention and active treatment in order to alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
