[Characteristics of patients with arterial hypertension in Moscow (as exemplified by a municipal cardiological center)].

AIM: To characterize hypertensive patients, residents of Moscow, treated at Moscow Municipal Cardiological Center (MMCC) in 1999. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 1056 case histories of patients with the diagnosis of arterial hypertension or essential hypertension, directed to MMCC in 1999, were analyzed. The files were processed using specially developed standard methods. RESULTS: Patients with stage III essential hypertension aged over 60 years are most often treated at MMCC. Patients with more severe left-ventricular hypertrophy more often have cardiovascular complications. CONCLUSION: High incidence of cardiovascular complications indicates that the treatment of patients in an outpatient setting is poor.
