[The behavior of heart rate and blood pressure during loading in stage-I and -II hypertensives--a criterion for the differential therapy of arterial hypertension].

84 hypertensives and 40 normotensives were examined on a bicycle ergometer. In the hypertensives different reaction patterns of blood pressure and heart rate were found, which could be subdivided into 5 groups. From this subdivision conclusions to the developmental mechanism of the hypertension may be derived: hyperkinetic dysregulation or resistance high blood pressure. Furthermore, a conditioned by situation "consulting hours hypertension" may be demarcated from the disease accompanied by hypertension. A haemodynamically oriented differential therapy and a following control ergometry were performed. Previously increased values of blood pressure and heart rate were significantly lower. Finally the indications for ergometry of patients with hypertension are demonstrated.
