Abstract

Abstract. The development, course and prevention of arterial hypertension, despite many years of multifaceted research, continue to remain the most important health problem for the population of the world and Ukraine in particular, it is the trigger mechanism for almost all pathologies of the heart and blood vessels of a person. The results of epidemiological studies show that 45% of the adult population have elevated blood pressure. Over the past 5 years, the number of patients with arterial hypertension in Ukraine has increased by 2 times. The increase in the prevalence of arterial hypertension is evidence of positive changes achieved by improving work with patients with arterial hypertension and improving their detection, accounting, and registration. The effectiveness of treatment of the rural and urban population has improved. The situation regarding arterial hypertension control is unsatisfactory in both the rural and urban population, but it is an obvious fact that the situation regarding arterial hypertension is more unfavorable in the rural population. Therefore, we devoted our study to the search and development of urgent measures aimed at improving and correcting the situation with arterial hypertension in the rural population.
