Abstract
A comprehensive estimation of the state of cerebral circulation was pe rformed in 57 patients with acquired heart valve diseases (AHVD) of di fferent types, etiology and severity. Doppler sonography, rheoencephal ography and quantitative electroencephalography were used. It was dete rmined that the alterations of cerebral circulation in patients with A HVD were first of all caused by disturbances of venous outflow due to congestive heart failure. Other factors, which had also influence on t he results of the studies performed are outlined.
