title: [Arterial hypertension in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with coronary artery disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study clinicofunctional features of arterial hypertension (AH) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including COPD patients with coronary artery disease (CAD); 24-h profile of blood pressure (BP) and changes in intracardiac hemodynamics; to compare the disturbances detected.
  
  
  METHODS
  1256 patients were divided into 3 groups, 395 AH patients with COPD entered group 1; 509 AH patients with COPD and CAD, angina of effort--group 2, 352 AH patients with CAD--group 3.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Most patients with comorbid diseases have 24-h BP profile of non dipper and night picker types in the presence of high heart rate explained by COPD effect on AH course. Lower BP in group 2 patients results from progressive maladaptive heart remodeling, attenuation of the systolic function, increasing number of patients with a restrictive type of transmitral blood flow.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  COPD patients with AH have more severe and frequent changes in target organs, poor prognosis as these diseases aggravate each other.
