Abstract
Arterial hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the cardiovascular system, and is a leading risk factor for sudden death, both in Kazakhstan and abroad. During the study of the formation and development of hypertension complications noted that hemodynamic parameters of large arteries is one of the most important indicators. Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and overall mortality in patients with atherosclerosis and hypertension. This article presents data on the evaluation of additional hemodynamic parameters as predictors of cardiovascular risk in hypertension.
