Changes in the Functional State of the Brain in the Early Stages of Chronic Cerebral Ischemia

Abstract

Clinical and electro physiological examination of patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CHEM) due to arterial hypertension was carried out. The main neuropsychiatric syndromes were identified: asthenic, neurotic and cephalgic. The functional state of the brain was evaluated by electroencephalography (EEG). EEG changes, especially during functional tests,indicated the inclusion of adaptive mechanisms that support the functional capabilities of the brain in conditions of formation of chronic cerebral ischemia and the need for treatment and preventive measures.Key words:chronic cerebralischemia, arterial hypertension,electroencephalography
