Myth 1: I won’t have a stroke Many people think that stroke is an “exclusive” disease of the elderly and that young people don’t have strokes. In fact, one out of every six people in the world is likely to have a stroke in his or her lifetime. Myth 2: If the cerebrovascular examination such as cranial MRI+MRA is normal, you will not suffer from cerebrovascular disease Cerebrovascular factors are only one of the causes. In some heart diseases such as atrial fibrillation, an embolus may be formed and dislodged to cause a stroke. Myth 3: Some foods or supplements are a panacea to prevent stroke Studies now do not find specific foods or supplements to prevent stroke. However, dietary control can reduce the probability of occurrence. In addition, health supplements are not drugs and cannot prevent stroke. Myth 4: Regular annual visits to the hospital can prevent strokes There is no medical evidence to support that infusions can prevent strokes. The recurrence rate of stroke is very high, about 30% in 5 years, and 1/3 of people are re-hospitalized because of recurrence. Therefore, it is necessary to take reasonable medication under the guidance of a regular hospital specialist. To reduce the probability of occurrence, diet control, exercise, smoking and alcohol cessation, weight control, regular lifestyle and treatment of concurrent high-risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia are needed. In addition, once you have a stroke, it is important to seek early and timely treatment at a regular hospital and not to listen to rumors or prescriptions in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life.
