| Abstract: | The occurrence of the cardiac arrhythmias was estimated by using 24-hour ECG Holter monitoring in 30 patients with multi-infarct dementia and in 30 with ischaemic stroke. Holter monitoring revealed pathological cardiac arrhythmias in 36.7% patients with multi-infarct dementia and in 40% with single ischaemic focus in the brain. It also allowed to reveal more frequent occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with ischaemic stroke (40%), than standard ECG (17%). |
