title: [Ergometric exercise tests in the diagnosis of juvenile hypertension].
abstract: We analysed 186 exercise stress-tests in children and adolescents with juvenile hypertension. 40 per cent of our patients showed an exaggerated rise of blood pressure during ergometric testing. There were no severe complications during exercise-tests. We recommended an antihypertensive drug therapy in cases of hypertensive resting blood pressure and hypertensive exercise-test. The ergometric investigation can control the effectiveness of drug therapy. Our data documented that 53.5 per cent showed a spontaneous remission of their elevated blood pressure after 3-5 years. There was no statistical dependence on the exaggerated rise of blood pressure during dynamic exercise-test.
