Personal achievements
The research team formed and headed by Alexandra Konradi developed new approaches to dynamic monitoring of patients with arterial hypertension, methods for monitoring high blood pressure in the population, proposed and clinically tested a technique for using self-measurement devices. They developed approaches to the organization of automated workplaces for doctors using automatic blood pressure meters, proposed a new patented diagnostic method for the white coat syndrome.
Under the guidance of Professor Konradi, a specialized programme was developed and introduced to educate the population and patients with arterial hypertension in the basics of the prevention of risk factors, treatment of the disease and its complications and a healthy lifestyle; a system for organizing structured patient education was proposed with the corresponding recommendations for its implementation into practice.
Thanks to her scientific and social achievements in the field of arterial hypertension research, in 2008 Almazov National Medical Research Centre (then called the Federal Almazov North-West Medical Research Centre) was the first of Russian medical research facilities to be awarded the status of ESH Hypertension Excellence Centre.
Alexandra Konradi was awarded the Certificate of Merit of the Russian Ministry of Health for contribution to healthcare (2009), the Honorary Badge of Excellence in Healthcare (2014). In 2015, she received the gratitude of the Russian Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova for her contribution to the expert activities of the working groups of the Scientific Council of the Russian Ministry of Health.
