[The role of thrombocytes in the development of ischemic cerebrovascular insult].

Cerebrovascular diseases appear in 10 to 15% in the general mortality of population, so that they are in the third place on the list of death causes, after cardiovascular and malignant diseases. Having in mind particular importance of hemorrheological complex in the development and course of cerebrovascular accident, in the present work we investigated adhesion, aggregation and number of thrombocytes. Parallel to the evaluation of the above mentioned hemorrheological indicators, we investigated the degree of motor deficit and the severity of of consciousness disturbances. All the indicators were determined first within 24 hours after the onset of the disease, then after 72 hours, and finally during the 9th day of the disease. The same procedure was done in the control group and all the indicators were determined during the first day, the third day and the ninth day of investigation. The group of patients consisted of 20 men and 20 women. In the control group were included 20 men and 20 women. On the basis of our investigation of hemorrheological indicators, we came to the conclusion that the adhesion of thrombocytes is of particular importance in the diagnostics and further following of the course of the cerebrovascular accident. The aggregation of thrombocytes has only a relative value in the investigation of the course of the ischemic cerebrovascular accident, while the number of thrombocytes has not significance for the onset and course of the ischemic cerebrovascular disorder.
