Features of total peripheral resistance and regional vascular resistance in arterial hypertension

The purpose of the study is to conduct comparative analysis of brachial artery's total peripheral resistance and vascular resistance in patients with arterial hypertension. Material and Methods. We applied standard measurement techniques for total peripheral resistance and blood flow parameters of the brachial artery in 128 patients suffering from the arterial hypertension. Results. The peripheral blood flow condition depends on the following indicators: kinetic energy of blood release (Wkin), brachial artery volumetric bloodstream (Vbr) and radius (Rbr), total peripheral resistance (TPR) and peripheral resistance (PRbr) of the brachial artery. Based on these indicators the patients were split into three groups according to pathogenetic variants of the hypertonic disease. Conclusion. The proposed criteria of the bloodstream status allows to verify arterial hypertension pathogenetic mechanisms. It implies personalized approaches to treatment of patients with arterial hypertension.
