Aim. То study circadian blood pressure (ВР) profile in chronic arterial hypertension (САП) at various pregnancy stages. Material and metliods. In total, 61 pregnant women with САH (mean age 27,9±0,8 years) were recruited in the main group. Control group included 50 normotensive pregnant women. All САH participants were followed-up since late first - early second pregnancy trimester Ambulatory 24-hour BP monitoring (BPM) was performed at various pregnancy stages, with standard parameter assessment. Results. In САH, circadian BP rhythm was unchanged, with increased 24-hour diastolic BP and decreased night time BP fall by early third trimester BP variability parameters in САH women were significantly higher than in normotensive women. Conclusion. 24-hour BPM in САH pregnant women is an important method for АH assessment at various pregnancy stages. Parameters obtained could be used for antihypertensive treatment initiation or correction, to prevent possible complications in this special patient group.
