title: [Long-term observation (8-10 years) of patients with mild forms of arterial hypertension].
abstract: The nature of a course of "mild" arterial hypertension was studied in 126 patients for 8-10 yrs. It was shown that in 13.2% of the cases arterial pressure returned to normal values during a "natural" course of disease; border-line arterial hypertension was revealed in 9.4%. Stage II hypertension was diagnosed in 77.4% of the cases after 7-10 yrs. Progression of arterial hypertension was noted in this group in 1/3 of the cases (30.2%). Aggravated heredity and an initial morphological state of the kidneys (according to the results of intravital morphological investigation) were shown to be predictors of prognosis of arterial hypertension. The initial picture of the fundus of the eye and electrocardiographic signs of myocardial hypertrophy reflected the nature of a course of hypertension being not factors determining prognosis of arterial hypertension stabilization.
