METHOD FOR PREDICTING RESISTANCE TO ANTIHYPERTENSIVE THERAPY AT SEVERE ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

摘要

FIELD: medicine, cardiology. SUBSTANCE: during the first patient's examination electrocardiogram is made by conventional technique. It is necessary to measure Q-T interval duration in V₅ branching. Desired Q-T interval duration is calculated by Bazett's formula. Degree of Q-T interval prolongation (X) is calculated by formula according to the suggested mathematical one. According to X value one should predict either possible resistance to antihypertensive therapy or its absence. Announced method enables to increase accuracy of prediction of resistance to antihypertensive therapy in patients with severe arterial hypertension that favors to prescribe the course of adequate antihypertensive treatment. EFFECT: higher efficiency of prediction. 2 ex
