title: [External respiratory function in stages I and II arterial hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine external respiratory function (ERF) and pulmonary circulatory hemodynamics in patients with Stages I and II arterial hypertension (AH).
  
  
  METHODS
  105 patients with AH were examined. In 43 of them, spirography and echocardiography were performed with pulmonary pressure and determined during elevated blood pressure (BP) and antihypertensive therapy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  ERF disorders that recovered with BP lowering were detected in 62.8% of patients with AH. There were also signs of elevated pulmonary pressure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In patients with HF, pulmonary hemodynamic disorders, changes in ERF, and the degree of AH are closely interrelated.
