THE ROLE OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STROKE IN PREGNANT WOMEN.

Currently, special attention is paid to the study of risk factors, improvement of diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It has been established that arterial hypertension (AH) makes the main contribution to the structure of this pathology. It has been proven that AH can act as a risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases. AH is of particular importance during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, since AH during pregnancy remains the leading cause of maternal and child morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the available scientific literature, there are only a few works devoted to AH-associated nervous system lesions in pregnant women. In this regard, the aim of our review was to analyze the role of AH in the development of cerebrovascular diseases during pregnancy. It has been shown that with AH in pregnant women, strokes occur 5.2 times more often than in pregnant women with normal blood pressure.
