title: [The cerebrocardiac syndrome].
abstract: The authors describe case histories of patients with brain involvement--extensive brain strokes with blood breakthrough to the ventricles. The development of myocardial lesions (from extensive hemorrhages to the heart muscle till the development of large myocardial infarction) attests to the possibility of centrally caused disorders of coronary circulation. It is necessary to note that the development of myocardial lesion is masked, as a rule, by the clinical picture of a grave brain stroke and is not adequately detectable at ECG studies. It is believed that the development of hemorrhages in the myocardium is consequent on the reperfusion syndrome, whereas formation of myocardial infarction is the result of the spasm of the coronary arteries.
