Since patients with cerebral infarction are often accompanied by hypertension and lipid metabolism disorders, they should pay attention to a reasonable dietary structure in their diet, and at the same time choose the corresponding medication and relapse prevention according to different etiologies. The diet of patients with cerebral infarction should pay attention to reducing salt intake, reducing alcohol intake, reasonable diet, and taking food low in fat and rich in high-quality protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements as the principle. Patients with cerebral infarction should pay attention to nutritional diversification, and the diet should contain cereals, fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, beans and soy products, milk and so on. Patients with combined diabetes should adopt a diabetic diet and avoid consuming large amounts of carbohydrates. If patients who are bedridden and have weak digestive function after cerebral infarction, food should be made into soft food that is easy to digest. The most important therapeutic drugs for cerebral infarction are anti-platelet aggregation drugs, mainly including aspirin, clopidogrel, cilostazol, etc. These drugs stop the local thrombus from progressing and expanding by inhibiting platelet aggregation and release. For cerebral infarction caused by atrial fibrillation and embolism, anticoagulant drugs are often applied to prevent re-embolism, and the commonly used oral anticoagulant drug is warfarin, which needs to be monitored to control the international normalized ratio (INR) at 2.0~3.0. There are also some new oral anticoagulant drugs such as dabigatran, which do not need to monitor INR. Because patients with cerebral infarction often have high risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia, these risk factors should be controlled at the same time, and the corresponding antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs and lipid-lowering drugs should be applied under the guidance of doctors. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine, such as circulation improvement and nerve-nourishing drugs, can also play a supplementary therapeutic role. In conclusion, patients with cerebral infarction should develop individualized health education programs for different risk factors, establish a reasonable lifestyle, such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, eating reasonably, exercising appropriately, and regular medical checkups and adherence to medication for high-risk patients.
