Hypertension is a chronic disease of the cardiovascular system, which is characterized by increased blood pressure. In its development, hypertension goes through four phases: transient, latent, progressive and complicated. This disease can occur with a different clinical course, but one of the most severe is damage to organs and tissues, since increased pressure leads to changes in blood circulation, malnutrition and innervation of organs. Angiopathy is formed - dystrophic changes in blood vessels. One of the most common forms is hypertensive discirculatory encephalopathy. Hypertension interferes with cerebral blood flow, which can lead to stroke
