The most common diseases associated with hypertension include: obesity, primarily abdominal obesity (AO), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), arrhythmias and conduction disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), cerebrovascular diseases , joint diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleep apnea syndrome, thyroid disease and other endocrine diseases.
In this regard, the 2018 European Society of Hypertension and European Society of Cardiology guidelines emphasized the need for careful stratification of cardiovascular and overall risk of complications in order to select the most optimal antihypertensive therapy.
В период пандемии рекомендуется избежать начала приема тиопурина или увеличения дозы, что позволит пациентам избежать потенциальных побочных эффектов.
Если пациент находится в контакте с человеком COVID-19, необходимо рассмотреть возможность временного отказа от приема тиопурина на 2 недели.
Если у пациента положительный результат теста на SARS-CoV-2 и/или у него развивается COVID-19, возможно рекомендовать временное прекращение приема тиопурина до тех пор, пока пациент не избавится от инфекции.
Both patients and doctors should be well aware of the need for long-term therapy with periodic monitoring of key indicators and the obligatory achievement of the so-called target levels of blood pressure, that is, stable normalization of blood pressure. Only such an approach to the treatment of patients with hypertension can give a successful result. But at present, as mentioned above, only a very small number of patients with hypertension are treated effectively. In this regard, there is no decrease in the frequency of complications of this disease in Ukraine.
