CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE IN ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION, COMORBID WITH PEPTIC ULCER

In out-patient conditions patients were investigated (n=141): of which the core group consisted of patients with hypertension (H) comorbid with peptic ulcer (PU), (n =41), and the comparison group 1 consisted of patients with isolated H (n=58) and comparison group 2 ? of patients with isolated PU (n=58). Thefeatures of circadian rhythm of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, circadian index (CI) in patients with isolated and comorbid H and PU were studied. Get results that when comorbid with PU H ? prevailed patho-logic degree of nocturnal SBP reduction (45% of non-dipper and 15% knight-pikker) and normal degree ? of DBP (60% dipper). When isolated PU and H with comorbid PU was the smallest value of CI (1,19), which may indicate a negative modifying effect of PU on the H.
