| Summary: | The paper is focused on the specific features of arterial hypertension (AH) and circadian blood pressure (BP) profile in climacteric women. Cardiovascular disease in climacteric women is an important clinical problem, due to declined hormonal effects on vascular wall, lipid profile, and BP levels. The study included 154 climacteric women, divided into four groups, based on the climax stage and AH presence. In all participants, climacteric and cardiovascular symptoms were analysed, with the calculation of modified menopausal index and circadian BP profile. Women with AH demonstrated circadian BP profile disturbances. These findings have important implications for early diagnostics and optimal treatment of AH. |
