title: [Hemodynamic profile of primary arterial hypertension in the elderly].
abstract: Cases of the primary arterial hypertension in the elderly (over 60 years of age) have been analysed. It has been found that approximately 70% of patients have had systolic-diastolic hypertension and the remaining 30%--diastolic hypertension. Cardiac output, cardiac index, peripheral resistance, left ventricle activity index, and SV with pulse rate multiplied by diastolic blood pressure had been determined with impedance rheography. Significant individual differences in the value of the analysed indices have been noted. Systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension was characterized by a decrease in SV and increase in peripheral resistance whereas dominating systolic hypertension was was manifested by a significant increase in peripheral vascular resistance. Other indices have not differentiated both forms of the arterial hypertension.
