Abstract

Renovascular hypertension (RH) is one of the most common secondary forms of arterial hypertension, in most cases caused by atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). The development of a course of hypertension resistant to antihypertensive therapy with an unfavorable prognosis of deterioration of kidney function and cardiovascular complications is characteristic. The review discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms of RH development in ARAS, draws attention to the important role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation, which determines the nature of the course of the disease, the high frequency of target organ damage. Modern approaches to the drug treatment of this form of hypertension, the validity and benefits of the use of drugs that block the effects of RAS in patients with RH of atherosclerotic genesis, constituting a category of high risk of cardiovascular complications, are The issues of the effectiveness of the use of these drugs in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and improve the long-term prognosis of the course of this form of hypertension are discussed.
