The article is devoted to the peculiarities of clinical course of dyscirculatory encephalopathy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Clinical-and-instrumental data were analyzed and compared between patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with atrial fibrillation and patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy due to hypertension and cerebral atherosclerosis without rhythm disturbances.
