Between 60 men with hypertension and 27 men with normal blood pressure, a comparative assessment was made of the incidence of complaints associated with chronic venous disease (CVD) and the objective signs of CVD of the lower limbs according to the recommendations of CEAP. The age of patients in both groups is 30-50 years. 67% of men with hypertension have a complaint associated with CVD of the lower extremities, which is 2 times more likely than in patients with normal arterial pressure. Complaints are associated with pain in the legs, swelling and convulsions of the lower limbs. In hypertension, the objective signs of CVD are diagnosed in 70% of men, which is 3 times more frequent than in men with normal blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are characterized by varicose veins and swelling of the tibia, ankle joint, and their combination. The high frequency of signs of CVD in men with hypertension can be due to high venous pressure and obesity.

Key words: arterial hypertension, chronic diseases of the veins of the lower extremities, men.
