Summary:From the results of the examination of 176 patients with hypertensive disease the authors compared 49 signs, including sex, age, the findings of medical history, inspection, X-ray, ECG and consultations of an ophthalmologist with the power of physical exertion on a bicycle ergometer. Fifteen signs with a marked correlative connection with the power of exertion (r greater than 0.5) were distinguished. Systolic arterial pressure (170 mm Hg and more), circulatory insufficiency, concomitant ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries and hypokinetic type of circulation proved to be the most important factors limiting the physical working capacity of patients with hypertensive disease. A table for prognosticating the working capacity was compiled.
