Popis: The aim of this work is to study the effect of cilostazol on regional hemodynamics, serotonin levels and functional activity of the brain, heart, lower extremities in patients with generalized atherosclerosis. A 12-week open-label, randomized, placebo-controlled study included 52 males with generalized atherosclerosis and 26 males with chronic coronary syndrome (comparison group). Patients in the generalized atherosclerosis group were randomized into two subgroups: 26 males in addition to basic therapy received cilostazol at a dose of 100 mg twice daily, and 26 patients who received additional placebo. Patients with generalized atherosclerosis had injury of four vascular territories: cerebral, coronary, mesenteric and lower extremities. It was found that in patients with generalized atherosclerosis, the level of serotonin in plasma exceeded this comparison group by 7.8 times, and a number of indicators were lower - in particular, indicators of volumetric blood flow (p
