The role of hypertonic crises in the development of chronic cerebrovascular pathology

Abstract

Cerebrovascular diseases continue to occupy one of the first places among the causes of mortality and disability in the population [4]. Reducing the burden from this group of diseases is impossible without improving primary prevention methods, which are based primarily on the concept of risk factors. One of these risk factors, which is rarely mentioned in preventive recommendations, but at the same time has a significant prevalence and prognostic value in relation to the risk of stroke, is hypertensive crises (HC).
