Abstract
Hypertension is the principal risk factor for cerebral infarctions and intracerebral hematoma. The brain is the principal target of hypertension. The brain is the principal target of antihypertensive drugs. Controlling blood pressure and stopping smoking reduces the risk of cerebral infarction by 40%. Objectives of a consultation after cerebral infarction or intracerebral hematoma: validate diagnosis and cause, identify risk factors for recurrent cerebral infarction but also for myocardial infarction and lower limb arterial disease, begin treatment of the risk factors for recurrence, begin prevention of atherothrombotic complications and embolic heart disease, identify complications of cerebral infarction and intracerebral hematoma.
