title: [The effects of plasmapheresis on central hemodynamics and cerebral circulation in hypertensive patients].
abstract: Plasmapheresis used in 61 patients with stage II hypertension brought a stable fall in arterial pressure and clinical response. Hypotensive drugs were reduced in doses or even discontinued. In subjects with hyperkinetic circulation arterial pressure went down due to decreased cardiac output. In hypokinetic hemodynamics hypotensive effect occurred because total peripheral resistance diminished. Lowering of arterial pressure was associated with positive changes in cerebral circulation. Plasmapheresis proved effective in all hypertensive subjects: in both hypo- and hyperkinetic circulation.
