History

The Research Department of Arterial Hypertension was established in 2001 based on the Research Institute of Cardiology named after Professor Vladimir Almazov (Almazov National Medical Research Centre).

Major research areas

— Pathogenesis and treatment of arterial hypertension, secondary arterial hypertension and cardiovascular complications

— Sleep disorders and their relationship with cardiovascular, neurological and endocrine diseases, as well as their effect on the prognosis in various conditions

  • MASTER STUDY – MASked-unconTrolled hypERtension management.
  • VASOTENS Registy – Vascular Health Assessment of The Hypertensive Patients.
  • PRECISION trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Aprocitentan in patients diagnosed with resistant arterial hypertension.
  • ESH-SHOT trial – optimal blood pressure levels in patients after stroke/TIA.

Participation in national and international societies and projects

Arterial Hypertension Research Department took part in the development and has been involved in case follow-up of the ESSE-RF study (Cardiovascular Epidemiology in Russian Federation).

Active collaboration and membership: the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH).

European Sleep Research Society, Assembly of National Sleep Societies.

Every year, the specialists of the Department deliver presentations at the largest European congresses.

Clinic

The specialists of the Department created the Competence Centre for Resistant Arterial Hypertension where patients with renovascular arterial hypertension and hormone-producing adrenal tumors are screened for surgery.

The specialists of the Laboratory see patients at the Diagnostic Centre and provide consultations to inpatients undergoing treatment at Almazov Centre.
