[Results of the active detection and 2-year treatment of arterial hypertension at a polyclinic].

Patients with arterial hypertension (AH) in one of out-patient clinics (group I) were actively treated and supervised during two years according to a special programme, the elements of which had been adjusted to the conditions and possibilities of an out-patient clinic. Patients with arterial hypertension in another clinic (group II) were treated in a conventional way by district physicians. This work proves the possibility of taking a complex of active measures against AH in a municipal out-patient clinic, which allows one to improve significantly the aid to patients with AH and to increase the number of patients treated and receiving an adequate treatment.
