Abstract: Objective. To study the association between N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (N-proBNP) and diurnal blood pressure profi le in hypertensive patients. Methods and results. A total of 40 patients were included in the study. Peptide concentration increased with age, correlated positively with diurnal pulse blood pressure variability and its mean cumulative value over night period in hypertensive patients. In patients with high plasma concentrations of peptide its level positively correlates with pulse blood pressure value and its variability and mean cumulative value over day period. In this subgroup signifi cant positive correlation between N-proBNP levels and systolic blood pressure over day period was found.
