THE NEUROLOGICAL AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION. CAPABILITIES OF PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION

Abstract The article provides a theoretical analysis of the causes of arterial hypertension, describes a 3-month observation of the initial stage of the development of arterial hypertension and experiments for one year on non-drug normalization of blood pressure in a group of 33 volunteers. We show that arterial hypertension is associated with spastic conditions of the intervertebral muscles in the lower thoracic spine, which leads to compression of sympathetic nerves that control the transport of water through the kidneys, which in turn upsets the balance of fluid circulation through the circulatory system. Theoretical analysis and experimental data made it possible to formulate a hypothesis about the dominant role of disorders in the activity of the sympathetic part of the nervous system in the development of primary and persistent arterial hypertension. The possibility of prevention of arterial hypertension and non-drug rehabilitation of patients with this disease has been shown
