This study observes 203 patients with cardiomyopathy disease from 15 to 67 years, who underwent routine examination, ultrasonography, serologic tests, brain computer tomography, Khomskaya's neuropsychological examination and Minesota "Life without heart failure test". In
all age groups next complication were found: 1. Neuropathy - a. 16-39 yrs
old- 28%; b. 39-60 yrs old - 74%; c. >60 yrs old - 97%. 2. Embolic
stroke - a. 16-39 yrs old - 21%; b. 39-60 yrs old - 35%; c. >60 yrs old
- 62%. 3. Encephalopathy - a. 16-39 yrs old - 34%; b. 39-60 yrs old - 76%;
c. >60 yrs old - 100%. All
patients with Encephalopathyhad different neurolopsychological changes and
quality of life were different (not identical). The manifestation of
neuropsychological changes occurred much earlier and were more obviously
expressed. Our
experience demonstrates, that stealing start of the disease without any
obvious neurologic complaints or in the matter of its ignore makes
difficult early clinical fixation of the deep and specific
neuropsychologic changes, that interferes of the vicious circle and
formation of the main disease complication, especially at the background
of autoimmunological processes. |
