RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISCHEMIC STROKE IN THE BACKGROUND OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, over 300 different risk factors for stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) have been identified. Currently, there is an increase in strokes in able-bodied people under 64 years of age. Comparative pathomorphological studies carried out under the program of the World Health Organization at the beginning of this century demonstrated that the development of atherosclerosis proceeds more severely and at a younger age, causing MI and stroke up to 50-55 years.IHD doubles the risk of stroke, if there is an extensive anterior infarction, then the likelihood of stroke increases to 20%. The stroke itself, regardless of its type, can develop not only as a result of myocardial infarction but also underlie it. Stroke increases the risk of cardiac events 3- 4 times. Currently known main stratification factors of total cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients have different significance for predicting the development of MI and stroke, many of them are more specific for MI, which indicates the need to search for new risk factors for the development of stroke [24, 30]. The risk factors for the combination of MI and IS, depending on the sequence of their development, have been little studied. 6th ICMS - International
