RUBIO ROJAS, Naya  and  MIRANDA QUINTANA, Jorge Alberto. Early diagnosis of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.11, pp. 8089-9003. ISSN 1029-3019.

The cerebrovascular diseases constitute the third cause of death in Europe and the sixth and ninth cause in Cuba in the age groups 25 to 34 and 15 to 25 years, respectively. Among these, the ischemic form is usually that of better prognosis when the neurological sequels are avoided and the patients are early treated; however, its differentiation by means of the clinical method cannot be the only element used to diagnose an ischemic pattern, because it resembles very much to other morbid processes of that same group and also to some of neurological character, reason why it is necessary to look for different mechanisms searching accuracy. Their early confirmation is crucial to apply appropriately the thrombolytic therapy that should begin 3 hours before the signs and symptoms of the disorder are presented; reason that justifies to determine which is the most effective, early, less expensive and invasive diagnostic mean to be generalized in the domestic health institutions.

Keywords : ischemic cerebrovascular diseases; diagnostic means; early diagnosis.
