Popis: The purpose of the research was to study the significance of blood pressure variability (BPV) in the assessment of arterial stiffness (AS) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), and their possible relationship with the indicators of structural and functional remodeling of the myocardium, serum lipid spectrum, and homeostasis system. Materials and Methods: A total of 138 patients (mean age of 56.7±12.8) with AH were examined. All patients were twice divided consecutively into two groups: one on the basis of age (the age groups ≥60 years and 0.05). In the ISH subgroup, average 24-h DBP was significantly lower than in the SDH subgroup: 74.5±4.8 mmHg and 87.4±10.9 mmHg, respectively (P=0.000). All patients underwent the following examinations: assessment of traditional risk factors, physical examination, clinical and biochemical laboratory methods, 12-lead ECG, echocardiography, 24-hour ABPM, assesment of the AS parameters, and measuring the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWVcf). Results: The age group ≥60 years is characterized by a significant increase in AS compared to the age group
