Результаты суточного мониторирования артериального давления у женщин с метаболическим синдромом во II триместре беременности

The article deals with 24 hour blood pressure monitoring in women with metabolic syndrome between 16-22 weeks of pregnancy considering possible gestosis after 22 weeks. More than 50% of patients had arterial hypertension specific to metabolic syndrome: moderate elevation of blood pressure with abnormal circadian rhythm. Brachial artery reactive hyperemia test revealed correlation between arterial hypertension and abnormal endothelium dependent vasodilatation. Negative index of circadian blood pressure was the predictor of pregnancy complications such as gestosis and placental insufficiency.
