A 43-year-old-patient has arterial hypertension caused by an increase in cardiac output and general peripheral resistance. Specify the variant of hemodynamic development of arterial hypertension in the given case:
- A. Eukinetic
- B. Hypokinetic
- C. Combined
- D. Hyperkinetic
- E. -
Hint
Hemodynamic variants of hypertension are defined by what cardiac output and total peripheral resistance each do, so compare the pairing in the stem with each variant's definition.
