[Characteristics of hemodynamics in patients with incipient and marked arterial hypertension]
Abstract:
The examination of the cardio-and hemodynamics in 22 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia of the hypertonic type and in 50 patients with stable hypertension showed that in the first group patients the systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery was increased due to hyperactivity whereas in individuals with stable hypertension it did not exceed normal values. A high load on the left ventricle in patients with high hypertension serves as an inotropic factor delaying the decompensation of the left ventricle.

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
