Description
Summary:The paper gives data on the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and the pathogenetic mechanisms of their development in various common somatic diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerotic lesions in the great arteries of the head, and diabetes mellitus. It considers data on the occurrence of CVD in more rare diseases, such as hereditary diseases, hyperhomocysteinemia, and migraine. It is noted that the currently available data suggest that that the pathogenetic mechanisms of CVD are heterogeneous and that there are diverse types of cerebral ischemic lesions and their clinical manifestations. Therefore, therapeutic strategies for CVD should take into account not only the clinical features of the disease, but also the mechanisms of its development. The main areas of therapy are highlighted. The use of vasobral to treat CVD is discussed.
