Abstract:Chronic cerebral ischemia is a polyetiological, chronic progressive dysfunction of the brain caused by diffuse and / or small focal damage to the brain tissue in conditions of prolonged insufficiency of cerebral blood supply. The review reflects the current understanding of chronic cerebral ischemia. The main pathogenetic mechanisms of the onset of chronic cerebral ischemia in patients with arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis and smoking are outlined.
