METHOD TO FORECAST DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE DEFECTS IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF CORONARY AND CEREBRAL ARTERIES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the field of medicine, namely to neurology. Factors of risk are identified from anamnesis of life, as well as clinical-laboratory indices. Prognostic coefficients F₁ and F₂ are calculated using the following formulae: F₁=-1.06-0.56×X₁-0.51×X₂+0.44×X₃+0.3×X₄ and F₂=-1.02+0.54×X₁+0.5×X₂-0.39×X₃-0.29×X₄, where X_1…4 - gradations and numerical values of risk factors, besides, X₁ - sex: female - 1, male - 2; X₂ - arterial hypertension: available - 1, unavailable - 2; X₃ - fibrillation of auricles: available - 1, unavailable - 2; X₄ - chronic cardiac failure of 2^nd stage: available - 1; unavailable - 2. If value of F₂ is higher than F₁, high risk is forecasted, and if F₁ is higher than F₂ - low risk of possible development of cognitive defects is forecasted.

EFFECT: method expands arsenal of facilities to forecast development of cognitive defects in patients with combined atherosclerosis of coronary and cerebral arteries.
