Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly known as Charg-Strauss syndrome or allergic granulomatous angiitis, is defined as a systemic vasculitis identified by the presence of allergic rhinitis and/or asthma, correlated with the presence of marked eosinophilia in the peripheral blood, eosinophilic infiltration of various organs with extensive areas of necrosis, eosinophilic, giant cell vasculitis of vessels of small and medium caliber, as well as perivascular and interstitial necrotizing granulomas. The frequency is 10 - 14 cases per million in the adult population. The average time interval from the onset of the disease to establishing the diagnosis is 49.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: All material for writing this scientific work were the results of a comprehensive survey of 201 people with RH and RA, hypertension (H) and RA, RA without H, H without RA and relatively healthy individuals. A laboratory study was performed: rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein (CRP), K+ serum, and creatinine levels.
The aim of the study is to investigate the antihypertensive efficacy, structural and functional remodeling of the heart in patients with resistant hypertension (RH) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after 12-month of therapy. The treatment includes angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, calcium channel blocker, diuretics, aldosterone receptor blocker (spironolactone), and immunosuppressive drug (methotrexate). 101 patients with hypertension (H) and RA were examined at the screening visit.
