Abstract

To date, CVD, in particular acute cerebrovascular accidents, have a clear tendency to increase. The existing domestic and especially foreign literature testifies to the established important medical and social problems of acute cerebral stroke in the society of humanity around the world. Stroke can develop at any age, but its frequency and prevalence increase with age. About 80% of strokes occur in people over 65, with age having a major impact on stroke outcomes.

Highlights

The increase in the likelihood of developing a stroke in the elderly is due to age-related changes, primarily, of both the blood vessels supplying the brain and the brain itself
Elderly patients are characterized by more severe neurological symptoms with the formation of poorly or not recoverable paralysis, higher cortical functions, a sensitive and coordinating sphere and a relatively severe course stroke
It has been shown that 75-89% of stroke cases develop after 65 years, 50% of them - in patients over 70 years and about 25% - after 85 years, while age negatively affects the outcomes of stroke [Sundseth A., Faiz K

Summary

Introduction

The increase in the likelihood of developing a stroke in the elderly is due to age-related changes, primarily, of both the blood vessels supplying the brain and the brain itself. It is known that risk factors for the development of stroke and especially the pathophysiological mechanisms of ischemic brain damage differ in elderly and young people. Elderly patients are characterized by more severe neurological symptoms with the formation of poorly or not recoverable paralysis, higher cortical functions (motor and sensory aphasia, apraxia, gnosis, acalculia, agraphia and alexia ...), a sensitive and coordinating sphere and a relatively severe course stroke. The patient's age is one of the main non-modifiable risk factors, regardless of the type, as well as the subtype of stroke. After age 55, the likelihood of having a stroke doubles every ten years, regardless of gender [WolfeС., 2009]. All of the above clinical issues of stroke development have their own characteristics in men and women
