Abstract

High normal blood pressure (HNBP) is known to be associated with an increased risk of arterial hypertension (AH) development. The purpose of the study is to identify predictors of the development of AH in young men with HNBP, to assess their prognostic significance. Materials and methods. From a sample of 50 men aged 18-29 years with registered HNBP, groups were formed: group 1 – 18 patients with AH diagnosed within 10 years, group 2 – 32 patients in whom AH was not diagnosed. Cardiovascular risk factors, indicators of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, bicycle ergometry, heart rate variability (HRV) during an active orthostatic test, echocardiography, and pulse wave velocity were analyzed. Results. Predictors of the development of AH in young men with HNBP are HRV indicators during active orthostatic test (ΔSDNN, ΔHF) and bicycle ergometry indicators (heart rate (HR) at the end of the physical load, diastolic BP (DBP) at the end of the recovery period). Conclusions. Predictors of the development of AH in young men with HNBP are ΔSDNN and ΔHF during active orthostatic test, HR in peak physical load and the level of DBP in the recovery period of bicycle ergometry (sensitivity – 88.89%, specificity – 93.75%, accuracy – 92.0%). The resulting prognostic model can be used as a method for determining the individual risk of AH development.
