Abstract

Objective. To study the parameters of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring in young men with normal and high normal blood pressure. Design and methods. Initially 66 men (group 1 included 32 subjects with optimal and normal blood pressure, group 2 was formed by 34 subjects with high normal arterial pressure) underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, and in 12 months examination was repeated in 53 participants: 26 subjects from group 1 and 27 males from group 2. Results. Within 12 months blood pressure load, variability and morning blood pressure surge increased in men with high normal blood pressure, while it remained unchanged in subjects with optimal and normal blood pressure. Conclusions. An impairment of blood pressure regulation became more profound in subjects with high normal blood pressure within 12 months compared to males with optimal and normal blood pressure. High normal offi ce blood pressure is a predictor of adverse changes of blood pressure regulation and should
