The object: to estimate functional condition of men with arterial hypertension of various disease length using veloergometry. Materials and methods. 86 men with arterial hypertension of 1 degree of various duration were examined: 60 men with the disease length 1,5 ± 0,2 year and 26 men with the disease length 8,0 ± 1,6 year, and 25 apparently healthy men were included. The standardized veloergometry was performed in all subjects using step-by-step increasing technique till either submaximal heart rate or limiting criteria were achieved. Results. Patients with long duration of arterial hypertension show reduced physical exertion tolerance, greater increase of systolic arterial pressure at small, average and high exertion power as compared to patients with short anamnesis of hypertension. They also have greater oxygen consumption by myocardium and its greater increment at average exertion power if compared to the rest level. The veloergometry test was discontinued due to the top level of systolic blood pressure, which occurred more often in this group.
