The results of the study showed that during 3 years (2012–2014), the number of cases of uncontrolled arterial hypertension in two adjacent (control and main) emergency departments increased by 15.7% and 19.3%, respectively, and amounted to 95.2 and 95.4% of cases, respectively. It was proved that the increase in calls for emergency medical care in connection with uncontrolled arterial hypertension was due to an increase in multiple calls (23.5% and 26.4%, respectively) to the same patients, mainly of elderly senile age with comorbid pathology (78.4% and 84.2%, respectively). In the final comparative 3-year (2015–2017) study in two adjacent (control and main) emergency departments, it was shown that individually selected self-help with two-component combinations of antihypertensive agents was associated with a decrease in emergency medical care by 18.2%, due to uncontrolled arterial hypertension. The main indications, contraindications and methods of prescribing personalized self-help are proposed.
