The prognosis of not living more than six months with cerebral infarction is not clear. The prognosis of cerebral infarction is affected by clinical type, infarction area, patient’s own condition, timing of treatment and other factors. After the treatment of cerebral infarction, patients should pay attention to the strict monitoring of their condition in daily life, and if there is any abnormality, they need to go to the hospital for consultation in time.
The mortality and disability rates of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and cardiogenic embolic cerebral infarction are relatively high, and the prognosis of the patients is poor, and the mortality rate will be higher if there is recurrence. The mortality and disability rates of small artery occlusion cerebral infarction and cerebral watershed infarction are relatively low.
The survival time of patients with cerebral infarction is mainly affected by the clinical type, infarct size, the patient’s own condition, the timing of treatment and other factors. The survival time of patients with mild symptoms and timely treatment is often not affected; the life expectancy of patients with large cerebral infarcts and brainstem infarcts may be affected, which may range from several months to several years.
If the patient is treated out of the danger zone, the condition needs to be rigorously monitored. Patients with hemiparesis, aphasia, ataxia, headache, vomiting, etc. should go to the hospital for follow-up examination.
