[Cognitive impairments in early restorative period of ischemic stroke]
Abstract:
The aim was to study prevalence and peculiarity of cognitive impairments in patients with ischemic stroke. 76 patients with stroke were examined in early restorative period of disease. Neurologic status of the patients was examined with NIHSS scale, Renkin scale was employed for measuring the degree of disability, MMSE and FAB was used to estimate cognitive functions. 24-hour, non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring was used to reveal arterial hypertension and impairment of circadian rhythm of ABP. Considerable prevalence of cognitive impairments was shown. 34.2% patients suffered from dementia. The most impaired cognitive functions were memory, calculation, repetition and writing. Risk factors of cognitive impairments in patients with ischemic stroke were advanced age, severe neurological impairments, increasing SBP, minimal DBP. Examination cognitive function after stroke is necessary to plan treatment, prevention and reablement.
