Abstract

We discuss in this article problems of prognostic significance of 24‑hour arterial pressure variability (24hAPV), as well as the role of 24hAPV in development and progression of various target organs damage by arterial hypertension. We also present literature data on impact of various regimens of antihypertensive therapy on 24hAPV, and on ability of fixed-dose perindopril/amlodipine to lower 24‑hAPV.
