Brain infarction, i.e. brain infarction, is a serious cerebrovascular disease, usually caused by cerebrovascular blockage leading to ischaemic oxidation of the brain. The key to the early prevention of brain infarction is the identification and control of the risk factors of the brain infarction, which can be detected at an early stage through periodic inspections, and the corresponding preventive measures. The following are some of the screening programmes that help prevent brain infarction:
I. Monitoring blood pressure
High blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for brain infarction. Blood pressure is periodically measured to ensure that it is within normal range (generally recommended less than 140/90 mm mercury column).
Household blood pressure monitoring: The use of family sphygmomanometers to monitor blood pressure on a regular basis (e.g. weekly).
Hospital blood pressure measurement: at least one professional blood pressure measurement per year.
II. test of blood resin
The rise of hyperlipplasia, especially low-density protein (LDL) cholesterol, is an important risk factor for brain infarction.
Total cholesterol (TC)
Low-density protein cholesterol (LDL-C)
High-density protein cholesterol (HDL-C)
Triester (TG) glycerine
Liquefied proteins A and B
It is recommended that blood resin tests be conducted every five years and that more frequent tests may be required for populations with high-risk factors.
III. Blood sugar screening
Diabetes is a risk factor for brain infarction, and regular screening of blood sugar levels prompts detection of diabetes or pre-diabetes.
An empty blood sugar test.
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
HbA1c test (sugarized haemoglobin)
Adults are recommended to undergo blood sugar screening every three years, with a higher frequency for those at high risk.
iv. EKG and heart ultrasound
Heart diseases, such as room tremors, can lead to sembling and increase the risk of brain infarction.
EKG: Electrical activity abnormal to detect heart.
Heart ultrasound (Echocardiogram): used to assess heart structure and function and to detect potential heart disease.
V. Cervical artery ultrasound
The narrowness of the carotid artery is an important risk factor for the brain infarction, and the carotid ultrasound can examine the thickness of the inner wall of the carotid artery and the plaque.
Measurement of the mesosphere thickness (IMT) of the carotid membrane
Assessment of the size and nature of specks
It is recommended that carotid ultrasound examinations be conducted on a regular basis for persons above the middle-aged, especially those with high risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and diabetes.
VI. Blood testing
Coagulation function check: includes PT (condensed enzyme time), APT (activated partial coagulator time), INR (internationally standardized ratio) etc. to assess blood condensation.
Slab count: An increase or decrease in the slab may increase the risk of leaching.
Pyrosicosicosicosylic acid: High-level Pystosysine is associated with increased risk of brain infarction.
VII. Imaging inspection
Head CT scan: quick detection of brain bleeding or infarction.
Head MRI: The brain structure can be shown in more detail, and small insects found.
Lifestyle assessment
BMI assessment: Obesity is one of the risk factors for brain infarction.
Dietary habits assessment: high salt, sugar and fat diets increase the risk of brain infarction.
Smoking and drinking habits: smoking and overdrinking increase the risk of brain infarction.
Preventive drugs
For people with high-risk factors, doctors may recommend the use of preventive drugs such as aspirin and carcasses to reduce the risk of brain infarction.
Conclusions
Early prevention of brain infarction requires a combination of detection and assessment tools, with the following summary recommendations:
Basic examinations such as blood pressure, blood resin and blood sugar are carried out regularly to detect and control the disease in a timely manner.
For people with high-risk factors, cervical artery ultrasound and cardiac examinations should be conducted on a regular basis.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a reasonable diet, adequate exercise and abdication of alcohol.
Precautionary drugs such as aspirin are used in accordance with medical orders.
Patients who have already suffered from cerebral infarction should immediately be treated for urgent assessment and treatment.
The above-mentioned examinations and preventive measures can effectively reduce the risk of brain infarction and protect the health of the cerebral vessels.
