In 36 patients with ischemic stroke the study of factors influencing the yield shear stress, which exemplified the red cells and fibrinogen interaction, was carried out. Patients were divided into two clinical groups: with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and with completed stroke (CS). The frequency of the intensive red cells and fibrinogen interaction was significantly higher in patients the in controls, which may be connected with dysgammaglobulinemia and with an increase of the red cell volume. The lack of significant difference between TIA and CS groups indicated the similar pathomechanism of blood flow changes in cerebral microcirculation in acute phase of TIA as well as of CS. It seems that individual hemorheological changes should be considered first of all in the therapy of this disease.
