Abstract
Objective. To study the structure and clinical features of vertigo in elderly patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) who underwent a new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection.Materials and methods. Clinical characteristics of vertigo were determined in 98 patients (48 men and 50 women aged 60–75 years) with CCI caused by arterial hypertension and its combination with atherosclerosis. The type and main characteristics of dizziness were determined using diagnostic criteria and an algorithm for examining patients. The level of anxiety was determined using the scale of Spielberger, depression – the Beck questionnaire.Results. Dizziness in elderly patients with CCI was characterized by clinical heterogeneity with a predominance of non-systemic vertigo and systemic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the structure of vertigo. Elderly patients with CCI who underwent a new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection were more likely to have psychogenic and systemic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, increased levels of anxiety and depression.
