Announcement:
Increased blood pressure is the main factor of high risk of premature death, brain stroke, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular complications.
The most vulnerable blending organ with arterial hypertension is the brain.
The clinical manifestation of brain damage as an organ-target of arterial hypertension is cognitive impairment-such as impaired memory and attention. Thus, cognitive disorders are due to the manifestation of hypertension. To optimize antihypertensive therapy, in addition to basic drugs, neurometabolic drugs must be included in therapy and it is advisable to choose those that, as part of one tablet, realize several effects. Such a drug is Mexidol ® . It has a membranestabilizing and antioxidant effect, and also improves brain perfusion, which is extremely important for arterial hypertension. Proper basic therapy and the correct additional drug with a multimodal action mechanism provide maximum improvement in cognitive functions, and, therefore, the quality of life of patients.
