Clinical and functional characteristics of arterial hypertension in women in climacteric period

During menopause, arterial hypertension often develops as a result of a lack of sex hormones, its general somatic and cardiohemodynamic manifestations reduce the quality of life of women and shorten its duration. Studies have shown that there are differences in the reactivity of the sympathetic nervous system in women before and after menopause. The hyperfunction of the sympathetic nervous system is currently considered not only as the most important joint in the formation of arterial hypertension, but also as a factor contributing to the development of a number of severe, sometimes fatal complications.
