Announcement:

Arterial hypertension is a systemic process, and the brain is one of the first to suffer. Microangiopathy, endothelial dysfunction, and decreased perfusion all trigger a cascade of changes long before clinical manifestations become apparent.

Why you should watch this video:

Hypertension as a Factor in Brain Damage
. Hypertension damages cerebral vessels at the microcirculatory level before damage to other target organs manifests. Chronic hypoperfusion, vascular remodeling, and endothelial dysfunction form the basis for vascular cognitive impairment (CI).

Cognitive impairment in hypertension: diagnostic minimum
Cognitive deficit in hypertension often remains outside the scope of medical attention - the patient complains of "absent-mindedness" or "fatigue", which are attributed to age or asthenia.

Neuroprotection as a mandatory component of therapy.
Blood pressure control and antihypertensive therapy are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for protecting the brain. A therapeutic strategy aimed at restoring microcirculation, improving neuronal metabolism, and stabilizing the endothelium is required.

Place of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate
Analysis of the clinical effects of the drug in the context of neuroprotection in cerebrovascular pathology: effect on microcirculation, antioxidant effect, stabilization of neuronal membranes.

Brief, with a focus on clinical practice.
