The paper is concerned with a study of 55 pateints with hypertensive disease and of 14 normals under the conditions of emotional stress. These studies were conducted in order to detect interrelationship between vegetative, EEG and REG indices. In 3 groups of patients distinguished according to symptoms of vegetative changes the indices of the tone in the sympathetical and parasympathetical parts of the nervous system in the working period (i. e. during the period of emotional stress) significantly differed from the indices of the control group. They also correlated with the character of activity and the EEG indices. Unlike normals, patients with hypertension in the working period demonstrate not a dilatation of the frequency spectrum in the EEG, but are somewhat narrower. Correlations between shifts on the EEG and REG were not detected. However, in the group of patients with weakened vegetative reactions in a visual assessment of the REG there was a weakening of the autoregulation of cerebral reactions, which coincided with somewhat less frequent alpha-rhythm in a lower work productivity.
