Hemostasis system in elderly patients with ischemic insult in the system of carotid arteries

Abstract

There was performed investigation of rhelogic properties, of coagulation and anticoagulation blood systems in 88 patients of senile age with ischemic insult in the carotid system. It was determined that for elderly patients highly expressed tendencies for hyperaggregation and suppression of their own fibrinolytic blood activity are characteristic features. Initially increased level of aggregation and hypercoagulation, combined with presence in blood fibrin-monomer complexes were accompanied by progressing DIC syndrome, and as a rule, were associated with steady neurology deficiency and high incidence of mortality. Possible correction ways were considered for hemostasis system disorders in elderly patients.
