Abstract
This study intended to evaluate blood pressure monitoring (BPM) data in young hypertensive offspring. We evaluated 31 students, of ages ranging from 17 to 25 years, whose parents (one or both) were being treated for hypertension (group I) and 30 normotensive subjects, whose parents were not hypertensive (group II). Epidemiological data were collected from all participants and the blood pressure (BP) measurements obtained by BPM were compared. There were no statistical differences between both groups when mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p=0.195) and mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p=0.958); SBP decrease (p=0.61) and DBP decrease (p=0.289); SBP variability (p=0.24) and DBP variability (p=0.497) were compared. There were statistical differences, when pulse pressures (42.74 mmHg in group I and 45.53 in group II) and in the minimum SBP during the awake period (85.00 mmHg in group I and 90.27 mmHg in group II, p=0.048) were compared. Both parameters were higher in the group whose parents were not hypertensive individuals. In this population, there were statistical differences in pulse pressure and in minimum SBP during the awake period, being higher in the group whose parents were not hypertensive. There were no differences between the two groups in the other parameters analyzed.

Summary
ANDRÉ RIBEIRO LANGOWISKI , EMILTON LIMA JUNIOR, JOSÉ KNOPFHOLZ*, ADRIANE REICHERT, MAIRA OLIVEIRA NOGUEIRA, JOSÉ ROCHA FARIA NETO, LUIS CESAR GUARITA-SOUZA Trabalho realizado na Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Curitiba e na PUC, Curitiba, PR. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento da pressão arterial pela MAPA em jovens normotensos, que possuam história familiar de hipertensão por um ou ambos os pais e comparar estes dados com grupo controle de jovens normotensos sem história familiar de pais hipertensos. O s dados obtidos dos exames de MAPA foram: médias pressóricas, variabilidade de pressão, pressão de pulso, descenso noturno e pressões mínimas em ambos os grupos. A população analisada no presente estudo consistiu de 61 indivíduos clinicamente saudáveis, universitários, de ambos os sexos, cuja idade média no GI foi de 21,61 ± 2,59 e de 21,23 ± 2,39 no GII, sem diferença estatística significativa entre as variáveis IMC, altura e prática de atividades físicas. O s únicos parâmetro que evidenciaram significância foram a pressão de pulso e a PAS mínima, ambos com valor maior para o grupo de filhos de não hipertensos. A composição dos grupos no presente estudo baseou-se na ausência ou presença de
