We have compared the daily blood pressure monitoring data with arterial wall rigidity parameters in patients with osteoarthritis with and without arterial hypertension. In 32% of patients with osteoarthritis without arterial hypertension we have determined “non-dipper” type and in 16% of patients - “night-peaker”. In case of arterial hypertension 42,8% of patients with osteoarthritis have “night-peaker” type and 22,8% of patients have “non-dipper” type. We have found the correlation between augmentation indices and daily blood pressure parameters.

At present there’s no united opinion about existence of pathogenetic relationship between systemic hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 24-hour blood pressure monitoring is valuable diagnostic method revealing individual characteristics of daily blood pressure profile in patients with COPD, which determine high risks of damage in target organs.
