Commonly used medications include inhibitors, antagonists, anticoagulants, and vasodilators, which help improve blood circulation and prevent arteriosclerosis. Cerebrovascular diseases are classified into two main types: cerebrovascular arteriosclerosis and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. The former is managed with medications that enhance cerebral metabolism, while the latter typically requires surgical intervention. Additionally, blood pressure and blood glucose levels must be carefully controlled. Patients should maintain stable emotional states in daily life and avoid extreme emotional fluctuations—such as excessive joy or sorrow.
