[2 contributions to the question of care of patients with cerebrovascular disease].

In the first part of the work the author assessed the laws governing the incidence and mortality from cerebrovascular diseases in different age groups and expressed them by a simple mathematical formula. Because there exist still marked differences in the reporting of diagnoses of cerebrovascular diseases which account for 20%, and in exceptional cases even more, it is not possible to obtain a basis nation-wide figure and so farr it is necessary to use for calculation a general symbol x for incidence and y for mortality. These symbols are multiplied and divided in different age groups. In the second part of the paper the author analyzes due to the different mortality of cerebrovascular diseases in neurological and medical departments and medical departments and with regard to his own experience, the possibility to use neurological beds for hospitalization of patients with acute cerebrovascular attacks in relation to the number of beds, their occupancy and the incidence of cerebrovascular attacks.

[The relation between hypertension and cerebrovascular accidents].

In 1984, ictus patients were hospitalized at the neurological department of the Regional Hospital, Ustí n. Labem, Czechoslovakia. This group included 70% hypertensive patients and 30% normotensives. The diagnosis was determined through direct blood pressure measuring in 71% of them, 26% were diagnosed with the aid of anamnesis and clinical records, and 2.5% were determined on the basis of ECG, eyeground changes or echocardiography. Only 56% of the followed-up patients were found to have signs of hypertrophy and left ventricular overload. The hypertensive patients, both living and dead, were found to have the frequency of clinically manifest ischaemic heart disease significantly higher than the normotensives. The five-year follow-up of hypertensive ictus patients showed a 38.5% death rate, but only 21.7% in normotensives, the average age of both groups being the same. Insufficient follow-up care of hypertensive ictus patients was found in 26% cases.
