Abstract
PEREZ NELLAR, Jesús and BEGUERIA SANTOS, Ramón. Recurrencias en el infarto cerebral. Rev cubana med [online]. 1996, vol.35, n.1, pp. 6-8. ISSN 1561-302X.
One hundred and thirty one patients presenting with cerebral infarction were systematically observed during the first year following ictus with the aim of studying recurrences. The frequency of recurrence was 9.2 %. The presence of arterial hypertension associated with other predisposing factors, mainly age, was found to be the main predictor of a new ischemic episode.
