Objective. To study relation between carotid atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension, and possible benefits of surgery. Design and methods. 70 hypertensive patients operated on cerebral arteries were examined: 50 patients had stenosis of carotid arteries (CA) and 20 - cerebral arterial anomalies. Results. The patients with carotid atherosclerosis had higher blood pressure (BP) than patients with brachiocefalic arterial anomaly (103,6 ± 11,3 and 91,7 ± 6,6 mmHg, respectively; r = 0,00007). This difference has disappeared in postoperative period. Both systolic (from 145,1 ± 14,7 to 135,6 ± 12,3 mmHg; р = 0,02), and diastolic (from 83,3 ± 10,2 to 78,1 ± 9,7 mmHg; р = 0,02) blood pressure reduced after the surgery on CA. Conclusions. We conclude that there is an association between ВР level and carotid atherosclerosis. The reduction of BP was observed in postoperative period in patients with atherosclerosis of CA.
