Influence of increased body mass index on clinical, laboratory and laser correlation spectrometry data in elderly patients with primary hypertension combined with ischemic heart disease was studied in this investigation. Efficacy of pharmacotherapy was evaluated accordingly to presence or absence of obesity. It is determined that patients with obesity are resistant to antihypertensive treatment. At the same time in this group functional renal failure didn’t develop in comparison with other group. Verified dynamic of laser correlation spectrometry was revealed in patients with normal body mass index who had decrease of renal function at the background of arterial pressure normalization. Variety of vegetative nervous system functioning was determined.
