Summary:
arterial hypertension (AG) is a leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, including with the development of cerebrovascular complications. The lesion of the brain as an agricultural organ is manifested by a stroke and/or vascular cognitive impairment (SKN) of varying degrees of severity. In order to identify and assess the severity of SKN, patients with AH need to conduct a neuropsychological examination, and to verify the vascular nature of disorders - neuroimaging. For the prevention and treatment of KN, along with antihypertensive therapy, the use of neuroprotectors plays an important role, among which ethylmethydlhydroxypirinate is a serious evidence base (reference drug - Mexol). Keywords: arterial hypertension, cognitive disorders, cerebrovascular disease, neuroprotection, ethyl -methylhydroxypyridine succinate, Mexidol.
