Abstract

The pathogenesis of gastric mucosa lesions in elderly and senile people has many factors. It's based on contradiction between protective factors (mucus secretion, prostaglandins, bicarbonate, microcirculation, regeneration, etc.) and aggression factors (hydrochloric acid, pepsin, bile acids, pancreatic enzymes, bacteria). In addition, such important factors as neurohumoral disorders, nutrition and vascularization of the gastric mucosa have attached. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible relations between microcirculation and data of gastric mucosa transendoscopy thermometry in elderly and senile patients with atherosclerosis confirmed by duplex ultrasound of extracranial brachiocephalic arteries.
