DISCIRCULATORY ENCEPHALOPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL-HYPERTENSION

More accurate definition of the leading factors of development of disc irculatory encephalopathy (DE) in patients with arterial hypertension was the aim of this investigation. The analysis of correlations betwee n clinical and computer tomographical symptoms of DE on the one hand a nd the indices of central hemodynamics, head blood circulation and pre sence of atherosclerosis of head arteria on the other hand was perform ed. It was found that congestion in head venous system was the main fa ctor in DE development. The conclusion was made that both atherosclero sis of head arteria and arterial hypertension promoted venous congesti on in head by means of decreasing the amplitude of arterial pulsation and In turn the development of DE. Meanwhile, the increase of minute b rood flow prevents it.
