Patients with arterial hypertension, 1-2 degree (n=75) were included into the study. Patients were invited to in-person physician visit again after 4 years. Evaluation of office BP, ABPM, Morisky-Green questionnaire survey was performed. Besides patients were asked to give their understanding of factors that could influence treatment compliance. Patients were divided into 2 cohorts (adherers and non-adherers), depending on the results of Morisky-Green questionnaire survey.Results. Contact was got in 50 of 75 patients after 4 years. Only 10 of patients (20%) were compliant according to Morisky-Green questionnaire survey, and 13 patients (26%) revealed a high risk of non-compliance. 26 of patients (52%) forgot to take medications, 25 patients (50%) were inaccurate regarding time of drug administration. Some patients missed medicines taking when they were in good condition (58%), or they were unwell (36%) due to sharp BP decrease after taking drugs.Conclusion. The patients' treatment compliance remains one of the most important problems of chronic diseases therapy. Only 20% of elderly hypertensive patients are compliant.https://www.rpcardio.com/jour/article/view/182arterial hypertensionelderly patientscomplianceambulatory blood pressure monitoring |
