Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed between the body mass index and the structural and functional parameters of the heart in 210 women (age 18-24 years) with idiopathic arterial hypotension (SBP 90-98 mmHg). Statistically significant relationships between the body mass index and the size of the heart cavities, the thickness of their walls, and the contractility of the heart were revealed. The results of the study indicate a direct correlation between the parameters of the heart and body mass index (weight and height) in young women with idiopathic arterial hypotension.
