title: [Localization of ischemic lesions in the brain in relation to the main risk factors of stroke].
abstract: The aim of the study was the correlation between the risk factors of stroke (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arrhythmias) and localization of ischemic lesion assessed by CT. The group consisted of 160 patients with ischemic stroke (70 male, 90 female), average age was 62.7 years. The group was divided into the subgroups depending on the localization and extension of ischemic lesion found on CT exam. The first group with cortical-subcortical lesions consisted of 100 patients. The second group with small lesions in deep brain structures consisted of 51 patients. The third consisted of 9 patients with both lesions: cortical subcortical and deep brain structures. 97 patients had history of HTN, 37DM, 47 arrhythmias. Occurrence of HTN was found to be significantly more frequent in the second subgroup. No significant correlation was found between localization of lesion and the diabetes and arrhythmias in remaining subgroups.
