Announcement:

We present to you a report by Professor Galina Nikolaevna Belskaya on a current topic: a modern algorithm for managing patients with chronic cerebral ischemia and vascular cognitive impairment.

  • Why are cognitive impairments not a consequence, but the first sign of brain damage in hypertension and other vascular diseases?
  • What are the 45 modifiable risk factors (according to The Lancet Commission, 2024) that determine the development of dementia?
  • Why are hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity the main triggers for progression?

The video provides a detailed discussion of the integrated approach to therapy:

  • Lifestyle correction: Mediterranean diet, physical activity, 7-9 hours of sleep;
  • The effect of exerkines, molecules produced during exercise, on neurogenesis and angiogenesis;
  • The importance of sleep: disruption of the glymphatic system → accumulation of beta-amyloid → progression of dementia.

Watch the report to:

  • Find out the current algorithm for treating cerebrovascular diseases;
  • Learn to choose drugs with proven effectiveness and safety;
  • Understand why Mexidol is an evidence-based choice.

This video is a must-see for neurologists, therapists, cardiologists, and general practitioners.
