The prevalence and patterns of the hypertension syndrome (AH) in young subjects require further study. An examination of 879 young subjects revealed AH in 14.6 per cent; in 84 inpatients borderline AH was found in 20.2, essential hypertension in 17.9 and symptomatic AH in 61.9 per cent, in 22.6 per cent AH was attended by signs of connective-tissue dysplasia and minor developmental abnormalities (mitral valve prolapse, nephroptosis, pathology of cervical spine, structural disorders of the lid slit and floor of the auricle, etc.). Manifestations of connective-tissue dysplasia and minor developmental abnormalities have a bearing on the AH formation and course in this group of patients. Further detailed study of the AH course in young subjects with these manifestations is required.
