Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the world, including Russia. Current Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension do not include different theatment strategies for men and women. Gender and age analysis of antihypertensive treatmen in men and women could reveal unreasonable and non - optimal treatment in each group. ⋯ It is noteworthy that in the some outpatient cards of patients with AH there is no record of AHT prescription: at a young age - in 9.6%, at old age in 15.1% of cards. Despite the fact of high and very high cardiovascular risk of the majority of patients, lipid - lowering therapy (statins) was prescribed insufficiently. The most statin administration was observed in hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease (50.1%) and myocardial infarction (62.7%).

Now there is a relevant development of the new biomarkers capable to serve as the instrument of early diagnostics of a disease for the purpose of selection of a pharmacotherapy and further monitoring of its efficiency. Galektin-3 is the atypical representative of the family of galektin. ⋯ Prognostic value is discussed and diagnostic opportunities of Galektin-3 at CHF are widely studied and take root into clinical practice. Now a great deal of research devoted to the studying of Galektin-3, possibilities of its use as a biomarker at diagnostics, forecasting of outcomes and the choice of therapeutic strategy at other cardiovascular diseases has been conducted.

to compare the antianginal and pulse slowing effects, the impact on the ectopic myocardial activity as well as the safety of the treatment with beta - adrenoblocker bisoprolol, calcium antagonist verapamil and the combination of bisoprolol with amlodipine in patients with stable angina (SA) and bronchial asthma (BA). ⋯ In patients with coronary artery disease and concomitant asthma, all three types of pulse slowing therapy do not have any negative effects on bronchial patency. Therapy with the inclusion of beta - blockers (bisoprolol or its combination with amlodipine), in contrast to verapamil, reliably reduces heart rate and the number of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles in addition to a good antianginal effect.

to study the flow phenomena of influenza and ARVI in patients with arterial hypertension, as well as the effectiveness of antiviral therapy. ⋯ The use of the antiviral drug Kagocel as part of complex therapy for influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections has shown its effectiveness for different groups of patients, including hypertension, despite the fact that cardiovascular pathology, often combined with comorbid diseases, significantly worsens the course and outcome of ARVI.
