Is cerebral infarction hereditary?

Patient's question:

Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is cerebral infarction hereditary?

Doctor's answer:

A stroke itself is not a hereditary disease, so this condition will never be inherited across generations. There is no need to worry too much about it. Currently, it is recommended to pay attention to various risk factors for stroke, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood lipids, smoking, drinking alcohol, and unhealthy lifestyles, and actively adjust and control them. It is important to exercise regularly and enhance physical fitness to help prevent the recurrence of cerebrovascular diseases.
