Objective. The aim of study is asses of the endothelial functional features in patient with bronchial asthma with different types of blood pressure (BP) circadial rhythm. Design and methods. 62 patients with bronchial asthma (from 25 to 60 years old) were included in our study. Control group was represented by 30 healthy people for examination of endothelial function and 77 patients with essential arterial hypertension for 24-h blood pressure rhythm analysis. We described 2 groups of patients («dippers» and «non-dippers») by ambulatory 24-h blood pressure monitoring. Results. «Non-dipper» type was significantly prevalent in patient with asthma in comparative with patients with essential arterial hypertension (51,6% opposite 33,7%). The flow-depended endothelial dysfunction is most common in patient with asthma (dippers and non-dippers) than in control group. Negative correlation between nitroglycerin-depended vasodilatation and night-depressing systolic and diastolic blood pressure degree was presented in the study. Conclusion. We founded associations between endothelial dysfunction and BP circadial rhythm in patients with bronchial asthma, especially in «non-dippers».
