Refractory arterial hypertension: clinical manifestations and controversies Karpenko Yuriy I., Garmazi Saber Odessa National Medical University, Odessa, Ukraine Abstract The study was aimed to assess the clinical manifestations in patients with refractory hypertension. There was demonstrated that refractory arterial hypertension is characterized with hyperactivation of sympathetic nervous system. Patients with RAH used 4,6 ± 0,2 medications to control the pressure. The most common combinations are the combination of blockers, ACE inhibitors and diuretics, ACE inhibitors and diuretics, and, ACC, more rarely, patients received a combination of ARB and a diuretic ACC. Every third patient in therapy included 4 or more antihypertensive drugs, that is, there was a polypharmacy. However the combination of used medications and their dosage regimen does not achieve significant clinical effect. Key words: arterial hypertension, medication resistance, diagnostics, monitoring.
