title: The effect of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion on central hemodynamic values and cerebral circulation in patients with essential hypertension.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The work was carried out to study the effect of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion on the values of central and cerebral hemodynamics in patients with essential hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-six patients with stage II essential hypertension aged 31-60 years who underwent magneto-treated blood autotransfusion were evaluated and treated, at the Cardiology Department, Hospital of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Azerbaijan Republic, over a period of 8 years. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination and generally accepted criteria of essential hypertension stages proposed in 1978 by the World Health Organization.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sixty-six patients with stage II essential hypertension with stable drop in blood pressure, simultaneously showed a positive clinical effect. Central hemodynamic changes in the process of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion were different and depended on the initial state of circulation. High clinical effect showed the patients with hyperkinetic type of hemodynamics. Their blood pressure were significantly lower than the patients with hypokinetic type of circulation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Rheoencephalographic study demonstrated that magneto-treated blood autotransfusion possessed insignificant effect on cerebral hemodynamics, mainly expressed by the reduction of arterial blood flow tension in the patients with hypokinetic type of hemodynamics.
