With the help of ultrasound methods of investigation we carried out comparison of structural-functional and hemodynamic properties of common carotid and brachial arteries in patients with hypertensive disease (HD) including those with concomitant ischemic heart disease (IHD) and in subjects of control group. Patients with HD combined with IHD compared with patients of other groups had more pronounced manifestations of rigidity of carotid arteries walls and statistically significant lowering of velocity of intravascular blood flow.
