Abstract
Objective.To study the relationship between diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and the circadian bloodpressure prof le in patients with chronic prostatitis.Design and methods.Eighty-two patients with chronic prostatitis underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiography.Results and conclusion.The disturbances of circadian blood pressure profile in patients with chronic prostatitis include the abnormal nocturnal decrease in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure, instable nocturnal systolic hypertension and an abnormality of the morning blood pressure surge. In patients with abnormal circadian blood pressure profile left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with increased myocardial mass and thickness of the posterior wall of the left ventricle was more prevalent.
