Abstract

We observed 1410 patients of different gender and age with ischemic stroke of 4 main clinical and pathogenic types - atherothrombotic, cardioembolic, hemodynamic and lacunar. The dependence of the pathogenic type of stroke, background options for stroke pathology and risk factors of stroke on sex and age of patients was analyzed. We founded out that atherothrombotic ischemic stroke is more common for persons of retirement age, and in working paeople - gap and hemodynamic once, although atherothrombotic strokes in this age group were more frequently observed among men. The importance of hypertension in the development of ischemic stroke reduces with age, but the role of cerebral atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias increases. As risk factors for ischemic stroke in the pension age physical inactivity, overweight and dyslipidemia play the main role, when reducing the role of smoking and stress, more relevant for working people. The frequency of the presence of certain risk factors and background for ischemic stroke disease depends on the patient's gender, but in different age periods and under different pathogenic types of ischemic stroke this dependence changes and in people of retired age it is less di...Continue Reading

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
