The aim of the study was to examine the cognitive status in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension observed in outpatient settings. 58 women from 44 to 88 years old with arterial hypertension were under study. It was shown that cognitive impairments were found in 40.8 % of women with hypertension during the menopause. It was found that early age at menopause, the presence of depressive status, obesity, changes in the structural-functional state of the left heart and metabolic disorders were associated with decreased cognitive function in women with hypertension.
