Abstract

The paper discusses a study of circadian blood pressure and arterial tone in preschool and early school age. We study the connection between blood pressure increase in the presence of risk factors for CAS. We revealed that in children at risk the hypertensive blood pressure variability indices, IVSADd, IVSADn were higher and while nocturnal BP reduction was lower than in non-risk children.

Keywords
