Despite the fact that arterial hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor, which can be controlled by means of drugs, the development of target organ damage destruction and cardiovascular events has not been fully explained yet. There is a growing body of evidence that the level of blood pressure variability, which should be determined as aroutine, plays an important role in this process. Currently, it is the method of 24-hour ambulatory blood press ure monitoring that has proved as the most useful one. There is the need of additional research, which will explain the causes/consequences ofblood pressure variability and its treatment. It is undoubtedly necessary to redu cethe mean blood pressure, however, patients with consistently reduced blood pressure have better prognosis. The characteristics ofindividual antihypertensive drugs and their effect on blood pressure variability are be coming more and more importantTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo Medicinski razgledi
