It was found using multiple linear regression analysis that significant predictors of cerebral disorders in patients with EH are elevated maximum values of systolic blood pressure (BP) according anamnesis data, increased intima-media thickness, increased mean daytime diastolic BP load values, increased average daytime mean BP values, increased maximum 24-hours mean BP values, increased pulse pressure variability by ambulatory BP monitoring, elevated levels of total cholesterol, a lower educational level, a greater age of patients and worsening of subjective stress assessment.
