Original Abstract

Altered physiological reactivity to stress is a well-known indicator of an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. One of possible consequences of impaired cardiovascular regulation is elevated blood pressure. Hypertension is commonly associated with excessive sympathetic activity, however, the methods of the non-invasive assessment of sympathetic regulatory outputs are limited. Therefore, we aimed to study complex cardiac sympathetic control using novel promising method of nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) - symbolic dynamics - at rest and in response to physiological stress in adolescents with newly diagnosed essential and white-coat hypertension.
