ABSTRACT: to study the characteristics of the wall motion of the superior mesenteric and common femoral arteries in patients with arterial hypertension using the pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging. the study involved 140 patients (64 men and 76 women aged from 35 to 68 years) who were divided into 2 groups. The first group (n=72) consisted of patients with arterial hypertension of the 2 and 3 degrees. In the second (control) group (n=68) were included almost healthy volunteers. By means of the pulsed-wave tissue Doppler among the surveyed patients was evaluated the phase structure of the motion of the front and rear walls of the superior mesenteric artery and common femoral artery. were obtained the differences of phase structure of motion of the front and rear walls of the superior mesenteric and common femoral arteries in healthy persons and patients with arterial hypertension. These results allow us to conclude that during the remodeling of arteries in hypertension appear some peculiarities of the motion of their walls.
