[A compensated form of chronic cerebral ischemia in elderly patients]
Abstract:
The study and treatment of 65-78 year old patients during 10 years allowed the investigators to identify a compensated (stabilized) form of the disease. By the results of clinical and laboratory examination patients of this group occupied the interim position between patients of middle age (45-55 years old) with a stabilized course of chronic cerebral ischemia, stage I, and patients of the same age with the progressive form of stage II of the disease. Some medical and social anti-risk factors for progression and development of chronic cerebral ischemia complications were singled out. The range from the age of 30-32 to 50-55 years old is crucial in future development of cerebrovascular process.
