Every second person on the planet over the age of 65 suffers from arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Modern institutes of arterial hypertension conduct national screening programs aimed at detecting hidden arterial hypertension, as well as identifying causes and treating pathological blood pressure levels in the population. More than 95% of arterial hypertension cases are essential hypertension.
In this case, there is a desynchronization in the function of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. In 5% of cases, there are additional causes of high blood pressure, such as hypo- and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, pituitary and adrenal adenoma, renal artery stenosis, aortic insufficiency, and anxiety disorders. In all of the above situations, blood pressure readings extremely exceed normal values and do not respond to drug therapy, unlike cases of essential hypertension.
At our Institute of Arterial Hypertension, to establish the precise cause of hypertension, its type, and determine the exact treatment strategy, a complete diagnostic program is offered and performed, which includes 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, Doppler ultrasound of the heart, abdomen, and renal arteries, CT of the pituitary and adrenal glands, comprehensive blood tests, and 24-hour urine collection for catecholamines. The complete diagnostic program takes 48 hours. Having undergone such a detailed medical examination program, the patient receives an accurate diagnosis, the cause of hypertension, and detailed treatment recommendations.
