Abstract

Analysis of the clinical-and-epidemiological parameters of the stroke was carried out and the prevalence of arterial hypertension was studied as one of the leading factors of stroke development among the residents of the small regional settlement of the Moscow Region. The epidemiological data obtained are indicative of the high stroke morbidity. A significant prevalence of the arterial hypertension was found in the population studied as well as an insufficient control and low understanding by patients of the necessity of regular taking antihypertensive drugs.
