STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL PECULIARITIES OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Aim. To assess the peculiarities of structural-functional status of heart and vessels in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). Materials and methods. The study included 62 patients with stage I–II arterial hypertension. Survey, biochemical blood analysis, echocardiographic investigation and ultrasonic duplex investigation, vascular investigation with estimation of remodeling types were carried out. Results. Analysis of the revealed changes indicates a significant contribution of hypertensive factor. The group with unsupported target level of arterial pressure is characterized by a greater frequency of developing left ventricle hypertrophy with concentric (60%) and diastolic function prevailing. Increase in rigidity of elastic and muscular arteries was revealed in AH patients with with prevalence of eccentric variant of hypertrophy. Conclusion. Higher prevalence of prognostically unfavorable variants of cardiac and vascular remodeling in patients with unsupported target level of arterial pressure was found.
