title: [Clinical, metabolic, age-related, and biorhythmologic aspects of daily arterial pressure profiles in patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: The work was designed to study daily arterial pressure (AP) profile in 103 patients aged 20-70 (48.6 +/- 12.) years with grade I-II arterial hypertension and its relation to selected metabolic parameters, heliogeophysical factors and age. The patients underwent 24-hr AP monitoring, calculation of body mass index, measurement of blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Non-dippers showed higher mean nocturnal AP values than dippers probably due to higher BMI, glucose and cholesterol levels. These patients were more sensitive to heliophysical factors. Patients above 60 years displayed higher AP values in morning hours compared with 21-40 year-old ones. These data can be used in the development of primary and secondary prophylaxis of arterial hypertension.
