[The incidence of the occurrence of stroke in the Carpathian region].

Based on the investigations conducted the contributors to this article arrived at a conclusion to the effect that those residing in lowlands of the Transcarpathian region are exposed to a greater number of factors causing acute cerebral circulatory disturbances than in highlands. This might be one of the reasons for the incidence of stroke to higher in low-lying lands that it is in mountainous areas. Factors due to which acute cerebral disturbances tend to develop need to be eliminated.
