[THE CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURAL REMODELING OF THE CAROTID ARTERY IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION AND HEART VALVE CALCIFICATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TREATMENT].
In patients with essential hypertension (EH) and heart valves calcification (HVC) were studied the dynamics of the structural remodeling of the carotid artery under the influence of different variants of lipid-lowering therapy. Significant decrease in the thickness of the intimamedia, the frequency of new atherosclerotic plaques have been seen in patients with EH and HVC using high-dose atorvastatin compared with less.
