“Recently, our hospital has admitted four young stroke patients aged 20 to 39. They generally have problems such as high work pressure, staying up late for a long time, and irregular work and rest.” Hu Hanwen, head of the Neurological Intervention Group of Guangzhou Twelfth People’s Hospital, reminded Everyone, we must be alert to the high-risk factors of stroke and actively treat various underlying diseases.

The 39-year-old patient Mr. Chen (pseudonym) is a driver, and it is common for him to work two shifts day and night; the other patient is 36-year-old Mr. Wang (pseudonym), who is under great work pressure and leads a team. business trip. In addition to common problems such as irregular life, when experts analyzed the etiology, they also found that they all suffered from serious cardiovascular diseases, and did not follow up with regular medication after treatment.
“Mr. Chen suffered from aortic dissection (Type A) with a high mortality rate 3 years ago. He underwent ascending aortic replacement with aortic valve artificial vessel, total arch replacement, and descending aortic stent elephant trunk in a local tertiary hospital. Mr. Wang received a pacemaker because of repeated syncope in the early years.” Hu Hanwen said that because of the successful operation and good prognosis, they all relaxed their vigilance and ignored the doctor’s orders when they got busy with work.
Hu Hanwen reminded that in addition to timely treatment for young people after sudden stroke, they must also find out the cause and intervene. For example, those with basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia should actively treat and control them; Medication, according to the doctor’s follow-up consultation.

Rapid recognition of stroke
After being sent to the hospital for treatment in time, both Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang have fully recovered and returned to normal work. This is due to the fact that the patient happened to be in a public place when he became ill, and was sent to the hospital immediately after being discovered by others, followed by proper medical operations and timely treatment.

If it is not recognized in time and sent to hospital for treatment, it will lead to serious sequelae such as hemiplegia and hemianopia. , even life-threatening. “Every minute of delay in patients with cerebral infarction can cause 1.9 million nerve cells to die, and the brain ages 3.6 years old for 1 hour of hypoxia. The sooner they are sent to the hospital for treatment, the lower the probability of disability and death.” Hu Hanwen reminded, through “Stroke 120” And “BE FAST” formula, quickly identify stroke.
