Sažetak
A population sample consisting 4210 subjects of both sexes aged 35-54 years was selected at random from the Municipal register from six regions of Croatia. A sample consisting of 190 subjects of both sexes from urban registry from the city of Zagreb-Center who were grouped into persisitently hypertensive, periodically hypertensive and control subjects, were followed over a period of 15 years. In addition to clinical examination and blood pressure measurement a resting electrocardiogram and repeated after exercise electrocardiograms were taken for all subjects. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of elevated blood pressure on electrocardiographic findings at rest and after exercise. In hypertensive male subjects the most frequent changes in resting electrocardiogram was ST segment depression. No such changes were detected in women. From the observed ST segment depression it was not possible to established how long it would be taken them to manifest themselves at higher rate than in persons having normal blood pressure. In the 15-year period the rate of arrhythmias in exercise in males appeared to be increasing with age. I was not possible, however, to ascertain whether this may have been due to ioncrease blood pressure only.
