Comorbid Conditions in Patients with Arterial Hypertension and Its Treatment

Abstract

In recent years, the problem of multiple and comorbidity associated with
common and socially significant pathologies of the cardiovascular system has increasingly
attracted the attention of researchers, among whom arterial hypertension occupies one of the
leading places. Patients with arterial hypertension usually have one or more concomitant
pathologies. The most common comorbid diseases associated with arterial hypertension include:
diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, cerebrovascular diseases, etc. The presence of comorbidity in patients with arterial
hypertension determines not only the choice of antihypertensive drugs, but also target values blood
pressure. Patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant diseases require an individual
approach, comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, taking into account all existing pathologies.
The scientific review presented in the article is aimed at analyzing literature data on the study of
the course and characteristics of the treatment of arterial hypertension in patients with comorbid
pathology.
