Abstract:
Objective: To discuss the risk factors, subtypes and prognosis of cerebral infarction in hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients. Methods: A total of 976 patients with cerebral infarction were divided into hypertension (n=516) and non-hypertension (n=460) according to their history of hypertension. Single and multiple factor analysis in the risk factors, subtypes of cerebral infarct, and prognosis were performed. Results: The incidence of previous cerebral infarction, lacunar infarction, and posterior circulation infarction in the hypertension group was significantly higher than those in the non-hypertension group. Advanced age, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes mellitus in the non-hypertension group were significantly more frequent than those in the hypertension group, and there were significant difference. Conclusions: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and advanced age are the main risk factors of cerebral infarction. Hypertension is the major causes of lacunar infarction and posterior circulation infarction.
