Abstract

A study was made of the central and cerebral hemodynamics in 65 patients with occlusive lesions of the main arteries of the head in the acute period of ischemic brain stroke (on days 1, 7 and 21). Ultrasound dopplerography of the extracranial part of the main arteries of the head and unidimensional echocardiography were employed. Analysis of the linear velocity of the blood flow in the internal carotid and vertebral arteries, of their diameter and volumetric blood flow, and of the central hemodynamics allowed a conclusion that the presence of cardial pathology in ischemic brain stroke promotes a progressive decrease of contractile and pump function of the left ventricular myocardium toward the end of the acute period of ischemic brain stroke.
