ORGANIZATION OF IN-DEPTH PREVENTIVE CONSULTING AND EVALUATION OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION PATIENTS IN THE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY OF GENERAL PRACTITIONER

Abstract

83 arterial hypertension patients of Stage II with the achieved eutonia who were on the dispensary observation by the general practitioner were studied. Risk factors, clinical signs of cerebral disturbances, rigidity of the vascular were evaluated in all patients. During a year of observation in-depth individual preventive consulting was provided to patients two times. It turned out that active dispensary observation of arterial hypertension patients with implementation in the area of responsibility of the general practitioner of individual consulting allowed not only achieving target values of arterial pressure, improving elastic and tonic properties of the vascular wall, reducing intensity of the endothelial dysfunction but reducing intensity of such modified risk factors as excessive consumption of salt with food, sedentary lifestyle, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, excessive body weight and obesity. The experience shows that to reinforce the educational skills in arterial hypertension patients with cerebral disturbances it’s necessary to perform in-depth preventive consulting (no less than 2-3 times per year), which finally increases compliance with performance of medical recommendations.
