1.What are the common risk factors for stroke? Stroke is a class of multi-risk factor diseases, common risk factors are: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and obesity, if these causes appear in a person, the pathology will be called “metabolic syndrome”, also known as the urban “death quartet It is also known as the “death quartet” of urbanites. In addition, the causes of stroke have been well established, such as smoking, alcoholism, too much salt, too little exercise and so on. 2.What should I pay attention to if the above risk factors for stroke exist? The common risk factors for stroke, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, must be treated with medication, and blood pressure, lipid, and blood glucose should be lowered to normal levels. In addition, special emphasis should be placed on quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and adding exercise. People who have risk factors for stroke, often take enteric aspirin, which is the cornerstone of stroke prevention and is essential for primary and secondary stroke prevention. 3.What is the concept of “mini-stroke”? The medical term for “mini-stroke” is “transient ischemic attack”, also known as “intermittent cerebral claudication”, or “TIA” for short. The medical term “mini-stroke” is “transient ischemic attack”. Now the academic community has reached a consensus that “transient ischemic attack” is the special alarm of cerebral infarction. 4.What are the symptoms of “mini-stroke”? The common symptoms of “mini-stroke” include sudden onset, slurred speech or aphasia, dizziness, vomiting, loss of balance, and vision not relieved within a few minutes, rarely more than one hour, but it will recur, and one third of them will have cerebral infarction, so it is said that “transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke) Therefore, “transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke)” is a special alarm of cerebral infarction. 5.What should I do if a “mini-stroke” has already occurred? If a “mini-stroke” has occurred, you should be hospitalized immediately. Do not give up early treatment because you think the symptoms of “mini-stroke” will disappear in just a few minutes. On the contrary, if the recurrent attacks of “mini-stroke” are not effectively controlled in time, once the cerebral infarction occurs, not only the cost of treatment will be multiplied, but also the disability rate will be extremely high. 6.What examinations should be made after a “mini-stroke”? If a “mini-stroke” occurs, a cranial CT examination should be performed in time to immediately identify whether it is an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Further carotid ultrasound and transcranial ultrasound Doppler (TCD) should be performed to understand the degree of intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis, and blood biochemical examination should also be performed.
