Of 875 patients being under the clinical follow-up at one of the polyclinics in Chelyabinsk, 216 (24.7%) had coronary artery disease (CAD) without arterial hypertension (AH) in past medical history. The authors conducted the comparative study of risk factors and clinical and instrumental features of the disease in 50 patients with isolated coronary artery disease and in 50 patients with coronary artery disease against the background of AH. It was found that the disease onset was more often manifested in the form of angina pectoris in patients with stable coronary artery disease without AG , and in the form of myocardial infarction in patients with CAD and AH. Pathological heredity, obesity, diabetes mellitus were more common in patients with the combination of CAD and AH. Stenosis of over 50% of at least one coronary artery is more often identified in patients with CAD and normal arterial pressure (AP). The full range of beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers may be prescribed to patients with CAD without AH in no more than 20% of cases due to excess drop in AP. The prescription of anti-ischemic drugs trimetazidine OD and ivabradine increased the CAD without AH, where these drugs probably should be referred to the first choice drugs.
