We have compared the daily blood pressure monitoring data with arterial wall rigidity parameters in patients with osteoarthritis with and without arterial hypertension. In 32% of patients with osteoarthritis without arterial hypertension we have determined “non-dipper” type and in 16% of patients - “night-peaker”. In case of arterial hypertension 42,8% of patients with osteoarthritis have “night-peaker” type and 22,8% of patients have “non-dipper” type. We have found the correlation between augmentation indices and daily blood pressure parameters.
