[Risk factors and adherence to treatment of patients with cerebrovascular diseases].

Objective: To assess the representation of risk factors and treatment adherence in patients with cerebrovascular diseases.

Material And Methods: A single-stage cross-sectional non-comparable study was conducted, which included 492 patients, of whom 133 had an ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (main group, MG), 344 had chronic cerebrovascular pathology (comparison group, CG). The representation of risk factors, the state of cognitive functions, the severity of anxiety and depression were evaluated.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious medical and social problem, being a common cause of ischemic stroke (IS) and cognitive impairment (CI), often reaching the degree of dementia. The most common cause of CI in patients with AF is transferred IS or repeated IS. In a significant part of patients with AF who have undergone IS, CI is detected directly in the acute period of the disease and progresses subsequently.

[Dynamic of cerebrovascular disorders in patients with carotid stenosis].

Aim: To study the state of cerebral hemodynamics and platelet hemostasis in patients with carotid stenosis (CS).

Material And Methods: The prospective study included 123 patients with atherosclerotic CS. The 1st group included 53 patients (mean age 52±12.
