[Clinical hemodynamic analysis of the circulatory types in hypertension].

Forty-nine signs found on clinical examination of 192 patients with hypertensive disease were compared with the cardiac index determined by means of tetrapolar chest rheography. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the type of hemodynamics: eukinetic, hyperkinetic, and hypokinetic. The types of hemodynamics were determined with due regard for the age variations of the systolic index. From the results of the correlation analysis of the systolic index, types of circulation, and the findings of clinical examination, 13 clinical signs with significant and greatly marked connection were distinguished. In accordance with these signs, it proved possible to identify correctly in retrospective the hypertensive type of circulation in 91.9% of patients, the hypokinetic type in 85.1%, and the eukinetic type in 78.9% of patients.
