[The efficacy of a program of arterial hypertension prevention among an organized population (the results of a 5-year observation)].
An epidemiological examination of 4323 motor transport workers made according to the program of the All-Union Cardiology Research Center, USSR AMS, revealed high arterial pressure (AP) in 22.6% of cases. The knowledge of hypertension was found to be low (34%) as was the coverage with hypotensive treatment (7.1%) and the efficacy of the latter one (1.8%). The follow-up studies (for 5 years) demonstrated the efficacy of non-medicamentous and medicamentous AP control exercised in motor transport workers. It was proved that in the principle AP might adequately be decreased and maintained for a long time at the safe level in the overwhelming majority of subjects with AP.
