Abstract:
Smokers are 12% more likely to
develop hypertension than non-smokers. Identification
of smoking against the background of varying
degrees of hypertension should be carried out to
stratify the risk of cardiovascular complications and
determine the appropriate tactics for managing
these patients. It should be noted that patients
with smoking in 15–20% of cases are expected
to develop cardiovascular complications even with
low blood pressure. Early detection of smoking
and blood pressure levels is an important step in
the management of hypertension, it allows you to
objectively assess the patient’s condition, start drug
treatment in a timely manner, lower blood pressure
and prevent the development of complications.
