Why the study?
Arterial hypertension is becoming increasingly common among cardiovascular diseases, prompting an analysis of blood pressure control in diagnosed patients.
Despite high rates of reported medication adherence (92%), blood pressure control remains poor with an average systolic blood pressure of 167 mm Hg among hypertensive patients under 56 in Ukraine.
Arterial hypertension is becoming increasingly common among diseases of the cardiovascular system. The work aimed to analyze blood pressure control in patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension. Fifty physicians and 1020 patients (under 56 years of age) participated in the study. Regular use of medications was observed in 92% of the patients, and the systolic blood pressure level was 167 mm Hg. More frequent use of renin-angiotensin system blockers compared with diuretics and calcium antagoni
