Indices of the body's neurohumoral activity and hemodynamic types in hypertension

A study of neurohumoral parameters in patients with essential hypertension and different hemodynamic types demonstrated different patterns of hormonal change in patients with hyperkinetic, eukinetic and hypokinetic hypertension. Elevated blood tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine, seen in patients with hyperkinetic hemodynamic type, and increased catecholamine excretion in patients with hypokinetic hemodynamics may be indicative of the pathogenetic significance of the hormones in question for the formation of respective variants of essential hypertension.
