Abstract
Cerebral vascular diseases (CVD) are the third leading cause of death in industrialized
countries and in Cuba affect the 50% of the population above 60 years old. The

years in the near future [1].
CVD are often followed by a high social and individual cost as a consequence of disability
and family affectation.
The most problematic among such diseases is ischemic cerebral vascular disease,

initial event several processes take place to induce the clinical symptoms of cerebral
ischemia...
