[State of cerebral and systemic blood circulation in patients with the initial manifestations of circulatory encephalopathy].

Parameters of the cerebral and systemic circulation were studied with the help of rheoencephalography in 119 patients with initial circulatory encephalopathy secondary to atherosclerosis (50 patients aged 45 to 59 years; 69, 60 to 74 years). Fifty-six healthy subjects served as a control group. The data obtained confirm the development of combined cardio-cerebrovascular insufficiency already at the initial stage of the disease and indicate the necessity of a comprehensive approach to the assessment of the function of two circulatory systems at an early stage of cerebrovascular pathology.
