Optimization of therapeutic and preventive measures and surgical methods of correction in stroke

For older people, the problem of stroke is especially relevant. The risk of developing acute cerebrovascular accident in men and women over 55 doubles every 10 years. At the same time, 75-89% of strokes develop after 65 years of age, 50% of them after 70 years of age and 25% in patients over 85 years of age (Bejot W., 2010). The urgency and social significance of the problem of stroke in elderly patients is aggravated by the demographic trend of population aging in developed countries, increasing life expectancy.
