Abstract

The aim of our study was to quantify limits for BRS and BP recorded in finger arteries (FAP) at the age between 11 and 21 years. 467 healthy subjects were examined. BRS was age independent, and limits for the whole group were: 5th percentile -3.9, 50th p. - 9.0, 95th p. 19.4 ms/mmHg. BRSf decreased significantly with age, the average decrease was 0.9 mHz/mmHg. BRSf limits were estimated for each age group. The average BRSf limits for the whole group were 5th percentile -7.3, 50th p. - 16.0, 95th p. - 33.7 mHz/mmHg. We calculated percentiles for mean values of SBP and DBP of FAP in each age and sex group. These values did not significantly differ from those used as standard for the Riva-Rocci method. Determination of physiological standards of BRS, BRSf, and FAP brought additional information: BRS is age independent, BRSf decreases with age; in 5 % of healthy subjects BRS is below the value associated with hypertension in adults; FAP corresponds to standards generally used.
