Does cerebral infarction cause high blood pressure

Cerebral infarction does not cause hypertension. In the acute stage of cerebral infarction, it will lead to a reactive increase in blood pressure, but it is usually a temporary situation, and after the patient’s condition is stabilized, the blood pressure will gradually return to normal, so this situation cannot be called hypertension caused by cerebral infarction. According to statistics, hypertension is the most common and important risk factor for cerebral infarction, and patients with hypertension are very likely to suffer from cerebral infarction if their blood pressure is poorly controlled for a long time. Therefore, for patients with hypertension, interventions need to be actively given to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and the means of intervention mainly include diet, lifestyle and drug interventions. Patients with hypertension should strictly control the intake of sodium and salt, control their body weight, actively exercise, and take long-term blood pressure control medications to keep their blood pressure within a safe range.
