[Basic hemodynamic and vegetative regulatory indices in adolescents-healthy and sick with arterial hypertension].

Basic hemodynamic indices in aged 15-16 practically healthy adolescents do not differ essentially, but in patients with juvenile arterial hypertension is noticed their authentic rise in proper age groups. The correlation of body mass is marked with the basic hemodynamic parameters and likewise the indices of double production depend on systolic pressure and heart rate.
