[What is new in information on hardness of the artery walls and on repulsed pulse wave?].
Early return of the pulse wave repulsed from the artery and resistive vessel branching sites plays a principal role in development of frequent haemodynamic variant of hypertension, the return being a consequence of enhanced hardness of major elastic vessels. The pulse wave course velocity is the most obvious predictive parameter for development of all variants of cardiovascular complications development in patients with cardiovascular condition, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, as well as in the population in general.
