Indicators of systemic hemodynamics and endothelial function in young patients with high normal blood pressure

In 52 young patients with high normal blood pressure their vascular tone state, endothelial function and central hemodynamics were determined using rheovasography and ultrasound examination of the heart pumping ability. We revealed a significant increase in vascular tone in 55,7% of the patients with high-normal blood pressure, and higher incidence of the hyperkinetic type of hemodynamics, which make possible to ascribe these patients to the hypertension risk group.
