Abstract

1. Backgrounds:
@EN An inaccurate Knowledge about the relationship between the level of B.P. and he development of hypertensive complications remains one of the most difficult fields in cardiovascular problems. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is known to be
procedure in diagnosis and management of hypertension, in assessment of the efficacy of anti-hypertensive drugs and as a means of predicting, outcome in hypertension.
@ES 2. Method:
@EN Ambulatory blood pressure was recorded for 24 hours with automatic blood pressure monitor in 15 normotensives and 18 hypertensive subjects.
@ES Results:
@EN 1) Average 24-hour BP was 145±30mmHg for hypertensive subjects and 109±5mmHg for normotensives in systolic and 95±20mmHg for hypertensives and 66±20mmHg for normotensives in diastolic.
2) Average casual BP was 152±35mmHg for hypertensive subjects and 113±35mmHg for normotensives insystolic and 101±25 mmHg for hypertensives 72±25mmHg for normotensives in diastolic
3) Circadianrhythms shwed that primary peak(minor) was at 10-12 AM, secondary peak (major) was at 6-8 PM and lowest period was at 0-2 AM.
@ES 4) Conclusion:
@EN With ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, it is possible to detect usual variability of blood pressure, circadian rhythms and the response to enviromental influences in both normotensive and hypertensive subjects. And Ambulatory BP
monitoring
is
more useful in diagnosis, treatment and predicting of cardiovascular complication on target organ than casual BP.
