title: [Stroke in rheumatic disease: risk factors].
abstract: The aim of this paper is to detect stroke risk factors in rheumatic diseases. The authors performed clinical and neurological investigations using MRI and CT tomography, ultrasound dopplerography, electrophysiological (reoencephalography, electroencephalography) techniques in 233 patients with rheumatic diseases. 197 patients (84.5%) presented cerebro-vascular disease, 93 (39.9%) of them had stroke. We divided all patients into two groups: group 1 included patients with "stroke at onset" (19%) and group 2 included patients with "delayed stroke" (21%). Patients with "stroke at onset" had such risk factors as vascular immune inflammation and unstable arterial hypertension. Patients with "delayed stroke" had such risk factors as hypercholesterolemia, stable arterial hypertension, asymmetric cerebral flow, hypercoagulation and vertebral syndrome.
