SYSTEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURE IN THE PULMONARY TRUNK AND VARIABILITY OF BLOOD PRESSURE DAILY MONITORING IN MALE AT COMORBIDITY OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
Were examined 58 male patients (average age -64,4 ± 9,6 years) with COPD and arterial hypertension (AH) and without it, and 30 men (average age of 61,2 ± 5,3 years) with essential hypertension, who amounted to a control group. Methods of research: clinical examination, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), anthropometry, spirometry, ECG, echocardiogram, etc It is shown that in the combination of these pathologies was significantly more frequent prognostically unfavorable daily profile «night-peakers», as compared with the control group suffering from essential hypertension. It was also found that in patients with COPD and AG as at the time of worsening of the underlying disease, and during the stabilization of the clinical condition the average pulmonary artery pressure was above norm, which subsequently leads to structural and functional changes of the cardiovascular system
