Peculiarities of daily blood pressure monitoring in patients with bronchialasthma

Peculiarities of arterial hypertension in patients with bronchial asthma give rise to the scientific and clinical interest for investigators. The aim of the present study was to elucidate and compare special characteristics of systemic hypertension in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertension by means of daily blood pressure. 93 patients with bronchial asthma were under study (34 men and 59 women of 40,2 ± 8,93 years old): 21 patients without hypertension, 14 patients with primary hypertension and 58 patients with pulmonary hypertension. 77 patients with essential arterial hypertension (30 men and 47 women of 41,7±4,8years old) constituted the control group. Daily blood pressure monitoring was carried out in all patients. Insufficient night decrease of blood pressure (
