[Various pathogenetic mechanisms of ischemic stroke in cardiac rhythm disorders].

Computerized results of polygraphic examinations of EEGs, ECGs, sphygmograms of the temporal artery, and phlebograms of the jugular vein carried out in 60 patients with a history of ischemic stroke and attendant heart rhythm disorders are discussed. The control group comprised 30 practically healthy subjects. The studies showed that in cases of ischemic stroke, there is a direct relationship between the degree of changes in the cerebral bioelectric activity and the intensity of disorders in general hemodynamics, which may be accounted for by the disruption of the vascular tone autoregulation, largely on the side of the ischemic focus.
