Joint discussion

The patient was examined in detail at previous hospitalizations. The presented examination results in combination with anamnestic data give the impression of the presence of essential hypertension.

The revealed changes in internal organs are due precisely to hypertension and are secondary. Of the concomitant diseases, CVI is present.


Recommended

  • Compliance with previous appointments
  • Permanent appointment of ß-blockers

  • UZDG MAG.

Examination completed

  • USDG MAG: no pathology of the carotid arteries was found, vertebrogenic effect on the left vertebral artery.
  • Doppler ultrasonography of the renal arteries (3-D): there is no data for the stenosing process in the renal arteries.

Assigned:

  • Albarel 1 mg 2 r / day
  • Triampur 1 t. 2 rubles / day
  • Bellataminal 1 ton per night
