The modern integrated approach to the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS), in addition to pharmacotherapy, provides for the impact of physical factors. Among them is injectable carboxytherapy (ICBT). Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effi cacy and safety of using ICBT in combination with a standard treatment program in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Material and methods. The main group (MG) included 39 patients with acute IS, the comparison group (GC) — 31 patients. On the second day of hospitalization, patients with MG underwent ICBT on the background of standard therapy, and GC — procedures that mimic ICBT. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental data, IS outcomes, complications, timing were assessed.Results. There were no statistically signifi cant diff erences in physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2) between MG and GC during and after the course of treatment. Positive dynamics of the neurological status was observed in both groups in the form of a decrease in the NIHSS score — in the MG from 6 to 4 (p = 0.047), in the GC — also from 6 to 4 (p = 0.25). In patients with MG, trophic disorders were less likely to develop in comparison with GC — 1 (2.6%) versus 6 (19.4%), p = 0.039. ICBT did not aff ect the duration of hospitalization of patients, the duration of treatment in the intensive care unit and carrying of resuscitation and also did not contribute to reducing mortality. Changes in the indicators of the acid-base state of the blood were compensatory in nature and did not lead to changes in the pH of the blood. The decrease in pH from 7.5 to 7.4 in 30–90 minutes after the procedures was a physiological reaction of the body to the introduction of CO2 and was not accompanied by negative consequences. Conclusions. ICBT is a safe method, does not aff ect the duration of hospital stay and mortality, help lower the likelihood of complications.

This article is devoted to the discussion of cardioembolic complications of anthracycline cardiomyopathy. The article describes a clinical case of cardiotoxicity caused by aggressive neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a patient with breast cancer and complicated by the development of cardioembolic ischemic stroke.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
