[Upright walking as a factor in the development of arterial hypertension in primates].
Time-course changes in the cardiovascular function of rhesus monkeys were investigated during forced orthograde statics and upright walking. Arterial pressure by Korotkoff sounds (in certain cases by a direct method in the femoral artery) and major parameters of central hemodynamics by tetrapolar thoracic rheography were measured. The monkeys developed stable arterial hypertension 3 months after the onset of the upright study. Hemodynamic parameters reflected circulation centralization, formation of the hyperkinetic type of the orthostatic reaction and development of arterial hypertension of the resistive type. It is suggested that orthostatics may contribute to the development of arterial hypertension.
