Hemodynamic values were studied by rheography and tachooscillography in 114 healthy individuals whose ages ranged from 15 to 34 years. According to the cardiac index value, all individuals examined were divided into 3 groups: with hyperkinetic type hemodynamics (cardiac index 5.67--4.32 l/min/m2 in males and 6.06--4.70 l/min/m2 in females), eukinetic (4.31--2,96 and 4.69--3.33 l/min/m2, respectively), and hypokinetic (2.95--1,59 and 3.32--1.95 l/min/m2, respectively). The first type was encountered in 23.7% of cases, the second in 46.5%, and the third in 29.8%. The information yielded by the study is used as evidence in favour of the assumption concerning the heterogeneous character of the hemodynamic norm among the healthy population. It is suggested that the criterion of the initial hemodynamic heterogeneity of the human population is employed in the analysis of the heterogeneity of hemodynamics in individuals with arterial hypertension.
