[Changes in the basic central hemodynamic indices in healthy persons and hypertension patients under physical...

In moderate exercise the rate of cardiac contractions is clearly increased in healthy individuals as well as their systolic pressure and minute volume, and to a lesser extent, the stroke volume too; the diastolic arterial pressure hardly changes in diminution of the total peripheral resistance. The systolic and diastolic pressure increase during exercise in patients with hypertensive disease to a greater extent than in healthy individuals. The stroke volume at the early stage of the disease increases to a lesser extent than in healthy individuals, while in the late stage it decreases. Total peripheral resistance in the late stage of the diseases reduces less than in healthy individuals.
