[Daily blood pressure profile in patients with hypertensive encephalopathy]. 2003

V V Mashin, and L A Belova, and A S Kadykhov

The purpose of the study was to study daily variations of blood pressure (BP) in patients with hypertensive encephalopathy (HE). Daily BP monitoring (DBPM) was made in 100 patients with different stages of HE. In HE, a proportion of patients from a non-dippers group substantially increased. An excessive nocturnal reduction in systolic BP (SBP) was more common. A dippers group was predominant in the controls. The daily index for SBP significantly decreased in patients with stage I HE; that for diastolic BP (DBP) reduced in those with stages I-II HE. The morning increase rate (MIC) of BP was studied. MIC of SBP was higher in patients with HE, which was most commonly observed in the non-dippers group. There was a more significant reduction in DBP in combination with high MIC in 10% of the examinees.
