AH is associated with cardiovascular hemodynamic alterations, including left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVddf). In consequence of increased blood pressure, the effectiveness of LV as a blood pump decreases and the symptoms of heart failure (HF) may occur. Thus, the identification of noninvasive markers related with the progression from the asymptomatic AH to LVddf/HFpEF would be beneficial.\n\nAnother issue is that the diagnostic difficulties in patients with LVddf and HFpEF stem from the limited possibility to assess the hemodynamic response to exercise. Thus, there is a need for more detailed methods of cardiovascular monitoring while exercise testing.\n\nWe hypothesize that some new noninvasive hemodynamic parameters, characterizing left ventricular (LV) function and arterial stiffness, may help to predict the risk of cardiovascular events and future occurrence of LVddf/HFpEF. Moreover, we assume that cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), completed with new methods of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring (impedance cardiography and applanation tonometry), would provide additional value in the assessment of the cardiovascular hemodynamic response to exercise.\n\nThe study is intended to verify these hypothesis.', 'detailedDescription': "Arterial hypertension (AH) is an important clinical social and economic problem, related to the increased cardiovascular risk.\n\nAH is associated with cardiovascular hemodynamic alterations, including left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVddf). In consequence of increased blood pressure, the effectiveness of LV as a blood pump decreases and the symptoms of heart failure (HF), even with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), may occur. At the early stage, patients' complaints are not specific and difficult to clinical interpretation. As a consequence, these subjects frequently remain undiagnosed. Thus, the identification of noninvasive markers related with the progression from the asymptomatic AH to LVddf/HFpEF would be beneficial.\n\nAnother issue is that the diagnostic difficulties in patients with LVddf and HFpEF stem from the limited possibility to assess the hemodynamic response to exercise. Thus, there is a need for more detailed methods of cardiovascular monitoring while exercise testing.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that some new noninvasive hemodynamic parameters, characterizing left ventricular (LV) function and arterial stiffness, may help to predict the risk of cardiovascular events and future occurrence of LVddf/HFpEF. Moreover, the investigators assume that cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), completed with new methods of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring (impedance cardiography and applanation tonometry), would provide additional value in the assessment of the cardiovascular hemodynamic response to exercise.\n\nAims:\n\n1. The identification of the new markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with arterial hypertension..\n2. The identification of the new markers of progression from normal left ventricular diastolic function to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.\n3. The identification of the new noninvasive markers of progression to symptomatic heart failure.\n4. The evaluation of the feasibility and usefulness of new methods of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring (impedance cardiography and applanation tonometry) in the assessment of the cardiovascular hemodynamic response to exercise.\n5. Multivariate assessment of cardiovascular response to the controlled exercise, taking into account left ventricular diastolic function and symptoms of heart failure.\n6. The relation between laboratory markers of left ventricular remodeling with resting and exercise (noninvasive) hemodynamics.\n\nThe study will be performed in a prospective and observational design.
