[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.

[Structural and functional myocardial alterations in patients with arterial hypertension associated with thyroid pathology under conditions of the Far North].

The remodeling types of left ventricle (LV), types and periodicity of heart arrhythmias have been studied in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) associated with thyroid pathology (mainly autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT)), residing in the Far North. It is shown, that in patients with AH associated with thyroid pathology, residing in Far North, defects of LV geometry, adverse in prognostic plan, are revealed significantly more often. The functional conditions of thyroid gland influences on distribution of LV geometry types (concentric LV hypertrophy is registered significantly more often at hypothyroidism).

[Organ lesions and chronobiologic structure of circadian rhythm in arterial blood pressure in persons with arterial hypertension].

The relation of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring indices with degree of target-organs damage in 114 non-natives of the Far North who had no previous antihypertensive treatment was studied. It was found out that mean BP influences on developing of chronic forms of vascular brain pathology, microalbuminuria degree correlates with pulse BP level, development of hypertensive retinopathy is associated with excessive variability of day BP.

[Evaluation of blood pressure in working population of the Far North].

The authors demonstrate 24 hours' profile of blood pressure for able-bodied healthy population of Far North. The workers and office staffers appeared to have identical blood pressure profiles that are characterized by lower decrease of nightly blood pressure, prevalent morning and two-humped biorhythm.
