Fatigue that occurs against the background of habitual physical or intellectual stress for a person, and persists after rest, is asthenia. For people of the older age group, the term senile asthenia syndrome is used. Asthenia manifests itself with increased fatigue and exhaustion, mood instability, increased irritability, sleep disorders. Asthenic conditions manifest themselves along with a decrease in physical activity, increased cognitive and mental fatigue. Asthenic syndrome (AS) are considered as an integral part of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as one of the manifestations of cerebrovascular pathology.
