2023-10-30
In recent years, stroke has no longer been classified as "geriatric disease". With the accelerated pace of life, irregular diet and rest, the incidence of stroke in middle-aged and young people is not uncommon. "In fact, as many as 90% of strokes can be avoided." He Xuying, director of the Neuromedicine Center of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, said that hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, smoking, heavy drinking, family history of stroke and other major risk factors of stroke. In terms of controlling blood pressure, she suggests that blood pressure should be measured at least once a year for those over 35 years old, and at least once a month for patients with hypertension, as well as medication treatment. Stroke is commonly known as "stroke". Stroke has an acute onset and rapid progression, which can lead to limb paralysis, language disorders, swallowing difficulties, cognitive impairment, mental depression, etc., seriously affecting the quality of life of patients and causing a huge burden to families and society. On October 3rd, Uncle Tang suddenly felt that his right hand and foot couldn't move, his mouth was crooked, and he couldn't speak. Soon, Uncle Tang became delirious. After diagnosis, it was found that Tang Shu's left internal carotid artery was occluded, and there was a large cerebral infarction in the left hemisphere. After obtaining the informed consent of the family, He Xuying intervened in the team to provide Tang Shuyu with a series of rescue treatments such as intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy in the catheter room. Fortunately, due to timely discovery and timely rescue, Tang Shuyu's blocked cerebral blood vessels were quickly opened and blood flow in the brain tissue was restored. Tracing back to Tang's past medical history, Tang stated that during his physical examination, he discovered a condition of atrial fibrillation. The doctor instructed him to take medication regularly to prevent stroke, but he didn't take it seriously because he didn't feel any discomfort, and he never thought that a stroke would happen to him. He Xuying said that the key to stroke is prevention. Hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, smoking, heavy drinking, unreasonable diet, overweight or obesity, lack of exercise, psychological factors, stroke family history, etc. are the main risk factors of stroke. Therefore, develop a healthy lifestyle, regularly screen stroke risk factors, and achieve early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment, It can effectively prevent and treat stroke. He Xuying suggests that regular self screening of stroke risk factors should be conducted to control blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and weight. In addition, it is necessary to actively treat related diseases, such as myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, etc. The risk of stroke among the population with the above diseases is significantly higher than that of the general population. Regular physical examinations and re examinations should be conducted, specialized doctors should receive treatment, and medication should be followed according to medical advice. "He Xuying said that stroke can be prevented and treated, and it is necessary to enhance the health awareness of prevention as the main focus, actively participate in and cooperate with local medical institutions and grassroots medical and health units to carry out activities such as screening and intervention for high-risk groups of stroke. If any corresponding symptoms occur, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. (Reporter Cai Minjie) (Xinhua News Agency)
