[The treatment with antihypertensive and nootropic preparations of hypertension patients working under neuroemotional stress].

The authors' aim was to develop schemes of hypertension stage I-II treatment in subjects exposed to nervous and emotional stress at their jobs. These patients benefited from ambulatory monotherapy with obsidan or piracetam (improvement in psychic status, mental and muscular performance, in memory and attention). Reserpin worsened the patients' activity, mental performance and cognitive functions. Combination of piracetam plus reserpin promoted positive changes in psychic status, mental performance and amnestic function in stage IB-II hypertension. This combination is thought effective for inpatient treatment of hypertensive subjects exposed to psychoemotional stress.
