[Clinical and diagnostical value of 24-hour arterial stiffness monitoring in patients with bronchial asthma].

Aim: To evaluate 24-hour dynamics of the arterial stiffness main indicators in patients with bronchial asthma of various severity and control.

Materials And Methods: The study included 119 patients with bronchial asthma, who formed main groups: the first group 48 patients with mild and moderate asthma, the second 71 patients with severe asthma. All patients underwent the vascular stiffness parameters study using a multifunctional complex for the 24-hour monitoring and office measurements of blood pressure and vessels condition.
