AN ISSUE OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT DEPENDING ON ETHNICITY AND TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE

Abstract

The review focuses on recent data concerning clinical and functional characteristics of racial and ethnic specifics of cardiovascular remodelling in arterial hypertension, having the importance for individualization of approaches in diagnostics and cardiovascular risk control (CVR). The key attention is paid for the results of investigation on such characteristics in various ethnicity patients living outside the traditional inhabitation, which is especially important for Russia due to significant demographic variety and migrational currents. So the standard algorithms of CVR assessment seem to be due for reconsideration and taking into account novel reclassification mechanisms. Integral indices of CVR, firstly, related to remodelling, and especially the terms of central arterial stiffness, demand for special attention as perspective non-invasive methods of diagnostics with the aim of personified evaluatory CVR mechanisms, incl. ethnicity.
