Abstract

To conduct a comprehensive examination of patients with controlled hypertension, including assessment of the functional state of the cardiovascular system, vegetative and psycho-emotional status. The study involved 80 patients (51 men, 29 women) divided into 2 groups: 60 patients with essential hypertension (EH) without concomitant severe pathology and normal blood pressure during the preceding 3 months (group 1) and 20 healthy patients without EH (group 2). Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index), parameters of central hemodynamic (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure), vegetative status (vegetative Kerdo index), mental and emotional status (SCL-90R, Leonhard questionnaire, HADS, SF-36, MPQ) were assessed. There were significant differences in the psycho-emotional status between patients with hypertension and patients with normal blood pressure. Significant correlations between anthropometric indicators, the state of the autonomic nervous system and psycho-emotional status of patients with hypertension were shown.
