[The effect of cardiovascular hypertrophy on the work capacity of hypertensive patients]

Hypertensive persons with pathological ECG in rest compared with healthy persons and hypertensives with normal ECG in rest show a significantly decreased physical efficiency. In hypertensives in stage II disturbances in form of references to a stress heart insufficiency, to a stress coronary insufficiency and a circulatory dysregulation are the cause of the disturbed function of the circulation. Thus the pathological ECG in rest in the hypertensive is an important diagnostic and prognostic criterion for practice.
