Whether patients with cerebral infarction in their 80s can get better depends on the area of infarction and the physical condition of the patients, patients with small infarction and good physical condition have a higher possibility of recovery, and patients with large cerebral infarction have a poorer prognosis. If the area of infarction is small, and the general condition of the patient is good, and there is no serious cardiovascular or other basic diseases, the patient has a great possibility of recovering or leaving only mild sequelae after timely treatment. If the patient has serious underlying diseases, poor heart function or liver and kidney function, the recovery process after cerebral infarction may be slower, and cerebral infarction may even aggravate the underlying diseases, resulting in poor prognosis for the patient. The prognosis of patients with massive cerebral infarction is even worse, and patients may be accompanied by coma, etc. The prognosis of this category of patients is poorer and may be life-threatening. Patients with cerebral infarction in their 80s must be treated as early as possible to avoid more serious damage to brain tissue, and pay attention to nursing care at the same time, in order to improve the cure rate of patients.
