[New approaches to the polyclinic assessment of physical work capacity in hypertension patients]

By using up-to-date mathematical methods, the authors studied exercise tolerance in 324 hypertensive patients. New approaches are validated to estimation of motor activity and its intensity in hypertensive subjects. The mathematical model provides reliable orientation in physical performance in the above patients as well as in their reference to the functional classes. The model is thought appropriate for wide introduction into outpatient clinical practice.
