Objective: Cognitive impairments (CIs) appear to be commonly encountered in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). Hence, our study was aimed at examining the frequency of cognitive impairments (CIs) in the physician’s outpatient practice, as well as at determining clinical and instrumental peculiarities of the course of AH in patients with and without CIs. Method: We carried out comprehensive examination of three hundred and fifty 50-to-80-year-old hypertensive patients followed up in the setting of a polyclinic and tested by means of neuropsychological scales (MMSE, Mini-Cog test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), duplex scanning of extracranial vessels, and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) of the brain. Results: The findings of neuropsychological testing demonstrated the presence of CIs in 83.5[%] of hypertensive patients, with CIs reaching the level of dementia in 16.9[%] and being combined with depressive symptoms in 40.3[%].
