PULSE PRESSURE AS A PREDICTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERTENSION
Samples with exercise stress include bicycle ergometry (BEM) used due to its simplicity and diagnostic value. BEM provides important information about the adaptive capacity and physical capability of the body and is used to detect changes in the cardiovascular activity on a functional level, thus, possessing a prognostic value. We have compared the results of pulse pressure (PAP) obtained in the study of the functional activity of the cardiovascular system via VEM with the results of instrumental methods, including echocardiography (echocardiography), duplex scanning of carotid artery, Doppler echocardiography in 62 men with high normal blood pressure (BP) or borderline blood pressure. Thus, we have revealed the following consistent patterns: the majority of the studied patients with elevated PAP during submaximal heart rate (HR) at the height of the load demonstrated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), digitalis dysfunction (DD), restrictive failure of blood supply, and pronounced changes in the carotid arteries in the form of atherosclerosis.
