[The effect of different levels of body fat on the hemodynamics in men with hypertension].

The indices of central, peripheral hemodynamics, contents of body mass fat were examined in 201 patients with hypertensive disease with reduced, normal and excessive body fat mass. It was found that with increase of adipose tissue there occurred a reduction of the cardiac output, volume blood flow rate, increase of the general and specific peripheral resistance, venous capacitance, specific weight of the hypokinetic type of circulation. The hemodynamics showed a heterogeneity in different degrees of fat deposits. In association of hypertensive disease with adiposity, changes of the hemodynamics depended on the quantitative content of body fat mass.
