In the article, the authors briefly discuss the effect of arterial hypertension on the onset and progression of atrial fibrillation. The importance of uncontrolled hypertension as a serious risk factor for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation is emphasized. The main aspects of using special diagnostic and prognostic scales useful in the treatment of patients with combined pathology (arterial hypertension and atrial fibrillation) are analyzed. Focus is made on the need of using these scales in real clinical practice in order to reduce both the risk of ischemic strokes and systemic venous thromboembolism, as well as serious bleedings.
