Comparison of 24-hour monitoring and one-time measurement arterial stiffness in patients with bronchial asthma

Abstract

Objective: to compare of 24-hour monitoring and one-time measurement arterial stiffness in patients with bronchial asthma.Materials and methods: Tthe study included 100 patients with bronchial asthma. All patients underwent 24-hour monitoring and one-time measurement arterial stiffness parameters. At the same time vascular stiffness indicators were examined: pulse wave velocity in the aorta, augmentation index, arterial stiffness index.Results: Iin the patients with asthma were found to increased 24-hour arterial stiffness. Results of 24-hour monitoring arterial stiffness more than one-time measurement.Conclusions: 24-hour monitoring arterial stiffness more informative than one-time measurement.
