The paper addresses the dependence of common carotid arteries (CCA) remodeling parameters from systolic blood ressure value in patients with essential hypertension aged 30-62 years. Ultrasound examination of CCA and heart was arried out. Structural changes of CCA and central haemodynamic indices were estimated. Correlation between systolic blood pressure, CCA diameter and intima-media complex thickness was detected. Reduction of wall elasticity was revealed blood pressure increased.
