[Hemorrheological determinants and metabolic parameters in reactive hypertension caused by exertion]

In a group of 31 healthy subjects submitted to the exercise test and subdivided according to the presence or absence of hypertensive reaction we have evaluated at rest, at the maximum of the exercise and at recovery the hemodynamic and metabolic parameters and the hemorheological determinants. From the obtained results it is evident that the hemorheological determinants in the two groups of subjects show an almost similar behavior and, in any case, they behave in a manner that the hemorheological pattern cannot be considered sufficient by itself for clarifying the physiopathological mechanism of the hypertensive reaction.
