Readings of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in patients with stage II arterial hypertension (HTN) receiving planned antihypertensive therapy

The aim of the study:to analyze ABPM readings in patients with stage II HTN receiving antihypertensive therapy in order to plan a personalized algorithm for managing HTN patients at the stage of the outpatient care. Materials and methods. 60 patients with stage II HTN were examined. ABPM readings were assessed on the background of planned antihypertensive therapy (ARBs and diuretics) and after the adjustment of the therapy (perindopril and amlodipine).Results. The use of long period monitoring provides comprehensive information about the patterns of blood pressure changesthroughout the day. Patients with stage II HTN receiving planned antihypertensive therapy with ARBs and diuretics did not have targeted BP during the day and had a systolic HTN of stage I, while there was a statistically significant increase in BP variability during the day and in the readings indicating a hypertensive load of target organs in comparison with a group of patients receiving a combination of perindopril and amlodipine for 3 months. In addition, there was a statistically significant (ANOVA, p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
