How long a patient with hypertension and cerebral infarction lives is mainly related to how well the hypertension is controlled and the severity of the cerebral infarction. In better cases, life expectancy is unaffected, while in worse cases, life expectancy may be limited to a few days or months. For patients with mild cerebral infarction, if there are no or mild sequelae after treatment, and if the patients follow the doctor’s instructions to control their blood pressure well and keep it within the appropriate range, their life expectancy will not be affected. However, if the patient does not control the blood pressure properly, it will lead to recurrence of stroke, which will affect the quality of life and life expectancy. Some patients with severe cerebral infarction will be left with more serious sequelae such as severe hemiparesis and dysphagia, which will lead to prolonged confinement in bed, and thus be prone to complications such as lung infections and deep vein thrombosis, which will shorten the life expectancy of the patients. On top of that, if the blood pressure is not well controlled, it will lead to the reappearance of stroke, and the patient’s life expectancy may only be a few days or months. To summarize, how long a patient with hypertension and cerebral infarction can live depends mainly on the severity of the sequelae of cerebral infarction and the control of hypertension. Patients are advised to actively seek medical advice and undergo treatment and rehabilitation under the guidance of their doctors.
