Abstract

This study focused on central hemodynamics and endothelial function in 49 adolescents with high normal blood pressure. 68 % of patients revealed an increased vascular tone. In this group of patients a marked endothelial dysfunction and prevalence of hypokinetic type of hemodynamics were revealed. 32 % of the adolescents studied revealed a hyperkinetic type of blood circulation accompanied by normal and decreased vascular tone. These findings indicated that adolescents with elevated vascular tone and endothelial dysfunction are at risk of developing primary arterial hypertension.
