[Rheoencephalography and piezopulsography in the acute period of ischemic stroke]. / Reoéntsefalografiia i p'ezopul'sografiia v ostrom periode ishemicheskogo insul'ta.

The authors have examined 46 patients with ischemic stroke associated with hemorrhage and 161 patients with nonhemorrhagic stroke. Three types of cerebral flow changes have been revealed. Type I is suggestive of the cerebral ischemic syndrome; Type II, of cerebral hypervolemia with predisposition toward constriction of the main arteries of the head, a considerable growth in cerebral peripheral vascular resistance and venous plethora. Type III develops in case of lethal outcome (cerebral vasoparesis and peripheral reactions of the pressor type). Type I is more common in nonhemorrhagic stroke, Types II and III in hemorrhagic one.
