SCREENING OF CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASES IN PERSONS OVER 40 YEARS OF AGE

Strokes are caused by blockages in the carotid arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain. When the blood flow is restricted to the brain, symptoms can occur that may lead to disability, or even death. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term adult disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the world. in many economically developed countries, over the past decades, it has been possible to significantly reduce the mortality rate from CVD, which is associated both with the introduction of modern methods of early diagnosis and treatment of CVD, and with the strengthening of preventive measures in health care. For our country, the organization of work on the prevention of CVD is also of paramount importance and is recognized as an important state task by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan of August 30, 2018 PP-3925 "On measures to improve neurological care for the population" and of December 18, 2018 PP-4063 "On measures to prevent non-communicable diseases, support a healthy lifestyle and increase the level of physical activity of the population". In 2012, in Uzbekistan, in the structure of the population seeking medical care due to DBS, patients with CVD accounted for 21.6%. As practice shows, often in patients of working age, the clinical symptoms of CVD are poorly expressed, as a result of which patients do not seek medical help in a timely manner. Data from domestic epidemiological studies have shown that about 40% of patients with the presence of CVD did not know about their disease. Many patients with chronic forms of CVD are also unaware of the presence of the disease and often come to the attention of medical professionals only at the stage of development of acute stroke.
