The study of cardiohemodynamics in various phenotypes of masked arterial hypertension

Two hundred seven men with an average age of 34.6 years with a healthy level of «office» blood pressure were examined, daily monitoring of the latter, and echocardiography was performed. Masked arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 142 (68.6%) patients. Individual phenotypes of hypertension differed in magnitude and duration of hypertension, deviations in the daily profile of blood pressure, the severity of myocardial stress, and the power of contractions of the left ventricle. The limitation of the left ventricle’s practical resources was more noticeable in systolic - diastolic and isolated diastolic forms of masked arterial hypertension. Isolation of its phenotypes with a specific set of changes in the indicators of cardiohemodynamics can increase the effectiveness of risk stratification and optimize the prevention and therapy programs for this pathology.
