Abstract

The aim of this work was a detailed study of questions connected with the peculiarities of circadian blood pressure profile, efficiency of amlodipine in elderly patients with gout and arterial hypertension. We used 24-hour blood pressure monitoring before and after 3 and 6-months treatment. Patients with gout showed the disturbances of circadian blood pressure profile. Prolonged calcium antagonists are the best drugs for the hypertensive patients with gout.
