Abstract

This publication discusses the mechanisms underlying the development of arterial hypertension on the background of stress, discusses the current problems of blood pressure control in patients with stress-induced sleep disorders, the clinical features of patients with hypersympathicotonia as the main mechanism for the development of arterial hypertension and blood pressure variability in patients with comorbid pathology, a diagnostic algorithm, as well as presenting current recommendations in the strategy for choosing the optimal antihypertensive therapy with the possibility of personalized choice in various clinical situations.
