Special survey, including cardiovascular risk factors assessment, blood pressure and heart rate measurement were performed. The features of therapy were assessed: proportion of those on therapy, proportion of those adherent to therapy and proportion of those with controlled blood pressure. Statistical test was performed by the StatTech, Russia. Results: Percentage of those on antihypertensive medications – 20% of all hypertensive participants (50% of those who know about their high blood pressure). 45% of those on therapy are adherent to antihypertensive medications. Percentage of those proportion who take medications only when necessary – 25%. 14% of participants forget to take medication.
