The study included 64 patients with arterial hypertension complicated by acute disorder of cerebral circulation of ischemic type of I and II severity degree. The study involved 32 men and 32 age-matched women. The assessment of lipid indices of venous blood on an empty stomach, ultrasound examination of the heart and blood vessels, measurement of blood pressure by a standard procedure, and a survey using psychological questionnaires were performed in all the subjects. The number and nature of the identified associations between indicators of lipoprotein metabolism, cardiovascular remodeling, and psychological factors was dependent on gender. The identified correlations can be useful in planning programs of secondary prevention and stroke rehabilitation.
