title: [Severity of anxiety and depressive disorders and their relationship with cerebral and hemodynamic impairment in patients with arterial hypertension in the practice of general practitioner].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the relationship of anxiety and depressive disorders with cerebral and hemodynamic impairment in arterial hypertension (AH).
  
  
  METHODS
  The study involved 97 patients with AH, stage II, who were followed up by a general practitioner. The severity of anxiety and depression assessed with the HADS, severity of cerebral disorders and a set of hemodynamic parameters were evaluated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It was found that psycho-emotional disorders were combined with an increase in the frequency of modifying risk factors (smoking, high salt intake, overweight and obesity), severe cerebral disorders and significant changes in the elastic-tonic properties of a vascular wall. Significant correlations between depression and vascular age were found.
