Practical aspects of treatment in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia and hypertension in general somatic practice

The official statistics of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation show that the past 10 years have been marked by an increase in the number of patients with chronic cerebral circulatory disorders (CCCD), accounting for at least 700 per 100,000 population. Hypertension is the most studied etiological factor of CCCD. However, its role is often perceived uniquely as the major mechanism for destabilization of the arterial vascular bed. The detailed study of the pathogenesis of impairments in the cerebral vascular bed and neurons will be able to predict the further course of the disease and to choose adequate therapy.
