87 participants of the study aged 30−60 years suffered from arterial hypertension of grade I-II, with low, moderate and high overall cardiovascular risk. Average age of patients was 47,7 ± 7,4 years old and average disease duration was 11,1 ± 9,4 years.

Psychoemotional features were assessed by psychological testing. The performed study showed elevated adrenoreactivity and plasma serotonin level in more than 50% of cases.
