Encephalopathy Hypertensive

Hypertensive encephalopathy (EHT) is a chronic condition that occurs as a result of damage to cerebral vessels and other disorders of intracranial circulation. This diagnosis is made to a patient who exhibits symptoms of vascular brain damage that are not associated with the presence of a stroke (transient ischemic cerebral apoplexy), and which persist for 4 to 6 weeks or more. EHT mainly occurs in men aged 50-70 years, as a complication of arterial hypertension. It can lead to progressive dementia (decreased memory, thinking and behavior) and impairment of cognitive functions such as concentration and memory. The prognosis of EHT depends on the severity of the disease and its duration, as well as the presence of concomitant diseases. Treatment includes controlling blood pressure, lowering blood cholesterol levels, and using medications to improve blood flow. Encephalography of the brain can help diagnose this condition and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

An encephalogram is one of the most common methods for diagnosing vascular complications of arterial hypertension, since it allows you to visualize not only changes in capillary flow, but also the electrical activity of the brain. Images on film of the Ecephalogram obtained during the scanning process allow the doctor to obtain important information about the functional state of the most important structures of cerebral tissue. The basis of most types of interventional studies are modern diagnostic and research programs using the principles and equipment of encephalography. Such programs provide the technical implementation of the tasks of studying the human brain and obtaining encephalographic images on a digital storage medium
