FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, in particular to cardiology. In patients with hypertension the following indices are registered: systolic arterial pressure, flow-dependent vasodilation of brachial artery with calculation of dilation coefficient, threshold of taste sensitivity to table salt with calculation of taste sensitivity coefficient. Obtained data are substituted into equation and left ventricular hypertrophy is calculated. Coefficient value is used to predict development of left ventricular hypertrophy during a year.
EFFECT: method is specific, accurate, suitable for screening analysis and makes it possible to correct anti-hypertension therapy.
