Lacunar infarction to be hospitalized?

Lacunar infarcts may occur in some patients without any clinical symptoms or signs, and may be responsible for a CT or MRI examination of the brain. The infarct is generally 0.2 to 15 mm in diameter and does not require hospitalization. Outpatient secondary preventive treatment is mainly provided, including oral aspirin or clopidogrel to prevent platelet aggregation. Statins should be used to modulate plaque stability and actively control the primary disease. For example, if there is a history of hypertension and diabetes, it should be controlled to stabilize blood pressure as much as possible. It should not be high or low, so that blood sugar reaches the standard. When there is hyperhomocysteinemia, it should be adjusted. At the same time, it should be low-salt, low-fat and low-sugar diet, quit smoking and alcohol, and exercise appropriately. If the patient has symptoms and signs, he should be hospitalized.
