Hypertension is the most common chronic disease in modern society, characterized by an increase in arterial blood pressure. Some patients may have no obvious symptoms, but there are also patients who experience dizziness, headache, fatigue, and mental exhaustion. Hypertension is a high-risk independent factor for cerebral infarction, which can cause cerebral hypoxia and ischemia interruption in patients, leading to neurological function damage. The combination of two diseases has a significant physiological impact on patients and can lead to a large number of complications. The presence of complications not only affects the basic physiological functions of patients, but also increases prognostic barriers during the rehabilitation process and reduces their physiological comfort. Preventing and responding to it can improve nerve damage function while enhancing patient comfort, achieving early social function recovery. This article elaborates on the mechanism of complications in patients with hypertension and cerebral infarction, and proposes preventive measures in order to provide necessary foundation for the nursing of patients of the same type.
