Methods of sympathetic activity evaluation in patients with systemic refractory hypertension

Abstract

Despite the availability of modern medicines for treating the majority of cardiovascular diseases, the existence of such severe diseases as refractory arterial hypertension and pulmonary hypertension, has brought us to the development of the pathogenetic invasive method of such conditions treatment. Identification of potential responses at the stage of patients selection will help us to see in details the pathogenesis and development of this nosology, to determine the predictors of the efficacy of alternative methods of treatment sand to develop the protocol for these situations. From there, the article discusses various methods of activity evaluation of the sympathetic part of the vegetative nervous systemas the mainsector of pathogenesis of systemic hypertension development.
