Stroke includes both hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. How long a 70-year-old stroke can live cannot be generalized, and may or may not affect life expectancy, or may be life-threatening at any time.
For hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke, if the critical part of the brainstem is damaged, then the patient may die in a short period of time; if the damage is not in the critical part of the brainstem, but the amount of bleeding or infarction foci is relatively large, the patient can develop brain hernia and other conditions, which may also be life-threatening at any time.
If the acute phase is over, the survival time of the patient is related to the presence or absence of sequelae, the underlying disease condition, the condition of care, and many other factors. If there is no significant limb dysfunction and the underlying disease is well controlled, life expectancy may not be affected; if the patient is paralyzed, life expectancy may be affected by recurrent lung infections and nutritional disorders.
If you are diagnosed with stroke, please follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and care.
