[Detection and treatment of persons with arterial hypertension].
By screening unogranized and organized male population, groups of individuals with relatively stable arterial pressure were chosen, which accounted for approximately 70% of all those with increased pressure. Three groups were formed among persons with increased arterial pressure; one received intensive hypotensive therapy on a multistage schedule and two were placed under observation, one being examined once in 2 months and the other once in 6 months. Two-year follow-up and treatment showed that long-term hypotensive therapy on a multistage schedule leads to a statisticaly reliable reduction of arterial pressure in individuals with relatively stable and moderate hypertension as compared to the initial level and to the pressure in the control group. In planning hypertension control it should be borne in mind that 1/4 of patients discontinue treatment in the first year.
