Abstract

The article presents data on the assessment of cerebral arterial hemodynamics in 43 patients who had Covid-19 and had mental disorders (group I). The comparison group (group II) consisted of 35 patients who had suffered Covid-19 and were less likely to have mental disorders. It was shown that in 28 (65.1±7.3%) patients of group I and 13 (37.1±8.6%) of group II, the blood flow velocity in the left middle cerebral artery (Vs lmca) was higher than in the right middle cerebral artery (Vs rmca). In 15 (34.9±7.3%) patients of group I and in 22 (62.9±8.6%) patients of group II, on the contrary, it was less (Vs lmca < Vs mca). The pulsation index on the left middle cerebral artery was 0.93+0.06 in group I and 0.76±0.04 in group II (p<0.05). According to the data obtained, the asymmetry of blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral arteries in patients who had suffered Covid-19 and had mental disorders was statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) than in patients without mental disorders. The same result was obtained for peripheral resistance indicators (RI, PI).
