ABSTRACT

An observational, descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study of 28 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease, admitted in the Cerebrovascular Diseases Service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to December, 2011, with the objective of evaluating the electric response from the contralateral cerebral cortex to the myocardial infarction area and its role in the motor recovery of the affected hemiplegic patients. The evaluation of the electric activity was made by means of the quantitative analysis of the digital electroencephalogram, and that of the functional recovery through the Barthel index. In the series the mean age was of 67.2 years ± 2, the male sex prevailed and all the patients presented changes of the electrical cortical activity, of which, 39.3% manifested it in the contralateral hemisphere to the myocardial infarction area, with a worse motor recovery after 6 months of the clinical course. Lastly, the electric damage of the contralateral cerebral cortex to the myocardial infarction area constitutes a frequently observed manifestation in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, what influences in a negative way in their motor recovery.
