An in understanding of the early cardiovascular manifestations of diabetes occupies an important place in international research and prevention programs, given that cardiac vascular complications are the cause of death in patients with diabetes.

[DYNAMICS OF TWENTY-FOUR HOUR MONITORING OF BLOOD PRESSURE IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA].

Twenty-four hour blood pressure monitoring in groups of patients of elderly age with bronchial asthma and hypertension was conducted. The study showed an increased variability of blood pressure and insufficient reduction in night time that leads to development of cardiovascular complications.

[Autonomic regulation of cardiac rhythm in elderly patients with bronchial asthma].

Evaluation of independent and combined interrelations of bronchial obstruction and autonomic regulation of cardiac rhythm in elderly patients with bronchial asthma was carried out. Positive correlation of the extent of bronchial obstruction and decrease of absolute indices of cardiac rhythm variability was established.

[The comparative analysis of prevalence of accompanying conditions in geriatric patients with hypertension].

The comparative analysis of accompanying diseases depending on the form of hypertension in elderly has been carried out. Prevalence of the isolated systolic or systolo-diastolic essential hypertension in elderly has been studied. The analysis of data has shown that systole-diastolic hypertension in patients is more often accompanied with diseases of heart, and in patients with isolated systolic hypertension is more often accompanied with cerebrovascular diseases.

[Features of parameters of twenty-four hour blood pressure monitoring in elderly and middle-aged patients with hypertension].

Twenty-four hour blood pressure monitoring in group of patients of elderly and middle age with hypertension has been carried out. Features of daily average parameters have been studied. The hypertension in elderly patients shows an increase in variability of blood pressure and insufficient decrease in blood pressure at night that leads to development of cardiovascular complications.
