[Parameters of 24-hour arterial pressure in patients with metabolic syndrome].

The paper analyses changes of the daily arterial pressure (AP) profile in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and concomitant metabolic disturbances. 24 hour AP monitoring and metabolic studies were performed in 3 groups of AH patients. One included 11 patients with AH and "complete" metabolic syndrome, another comprised 21 patients with less than 5 components of metabolic syndrome, and control group consisted of 35 AH patients without metabolic syndrome.
