FEATURES OF COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN CHRONIC BRAIN ISCHEMIA

Аннотация

100 patients with DE of stages I-III were examined to determine the features of cognitive and emotional disorders in dyscirculatory encephalopathy, 70 women and 30 men (average age 62.4±14.9). The etiological basis for the development of DE in the examined patients was atherosclerosis (29.1%), arterial hypertension (22.2%), their combination (37.7%) and arterial hypotension (11%). At the first stage of DE, there is a discrepancy between subjective and objective assessments of cognitive functions, which indicates both the lability of mental functions, the flickering of symptoms characteristic of cerebral vascular disorders, and the presence of an asthenic symptom complex. Under the influence of age, attention and visual memory suffer more. According to the "Exclusion of excess" method, significant differences were also obtained, indicating that the decline in semantic memory continues to increase with age.
