[Prognostic aspects of intima-media complex in patients with discirculatory encephalopathy and ischemic heart disease].
Different clinical/instrumental traits and factors of cardiovascular risk in stroke patients of different ages and able-bodied patients with discirculatory encephalopathy are compared. The frequency of some risk factors was even greater in more younger patients compared to older ones while the frequency of enlarged intima-media complex as a parameter of vascular remodeling was similar in both groups. Effects of different risk factors in the aspect of vascular remodeling were evaluated with regression analysis using odds-ratio with 95% confidence interval. The family history of cardiovascular disease with the early age at onset and visceral obesity are the most significant predictors of stroke, their contribution to the vascular remodeling is comparable to that in diabetes mellitus.
