This is a report about the therapeutic behavior of blood pressure and heart rate in patients suffering from hypertension. Forty male patients with hypertension (age: 30-53 years) were treated either with running or swimming therapy according to the stamina principle or with nifedipine therapy (40-60 mg/d). Both groups were randomized.

This association was shown to reduce minute heart volume thus playing the role of a factor compromising cardiac blood circulation in such patients. Neuroreflex influence on the coronary arteries and autoimmune damage of myocardium due to similarity of myocardial and gallbladder antigenic determinants may be probable mechanisms of such an effect.

In 92 patients (22 females and 70 males) with unipolar affective disorder hemodynamic studies using a radiocardiographic method were performed during treatment of a depressed phase of illness with amitriptyline or doxepin or mianserin. Frequent presentation of hemodynamic disturbances (increased heart rate and increased blood pressure) in the course of endogenous depression was noticed. Thymoleptic treatment causes the disturbances to alter in a statistically significant manner which allows to predict the final treatment outcome.

30 patients (25 males and 5 females) treated clinically with mianserin for a depressive episode in the course of unipolar affective illness was examined for hemodynamic problems using a radiocardiographic method. After two weeks of treatment Total Peripheral Resistance Index (TPRI) and blood pressure diminished significantly compared to basal pretreatment levels. A clear decrease of TPRI during the treatment may be a positive prognostic sign.

Hemodynamic studies with a radiocardiographic method were conducted in 28 male patients with unipolar affective disorder during treatment of a current depressed phase with doxepin. Total Peripheral Resistance Index (TPRI) indicated the best potential for prediction of hemodynamic tolerance to doxepin and of final treatment outcome.
