title: [The relationship between haemodynamics and oxygen consumption of the organism of hypertensive patients of advanced age].
abstract: In addition to the benign character of haemodynamic changes and the hyperfunctioning of the heart (isotonic type), the relatively favourable clinical picture of arterial hypertension in advanced age is obviously also dependent on the limited extent of the developing hypoxic changes. Seen in this light, the increased stroke volume is not only a reflection of dysregulated blood circulation, but also largely a compensatory response aimed at improving the oxygen supply of organs and tissues during the developing hypoxia, the latter being a characteristic feature of both the pathology in question and of the process of ageing in general. The decrease in arterial pressure in old patients caused by a decrease in the stroke volume is accompanied by negative changes in the oxygen regime of the organism.
