The objective of the study was to assess the effect of perindopril treatment on parameters of circadian blood pressure monitoring. The study included 40 patients with newly diagnosed hypertension I–II degree (40–60 years old). Patients underwent monitoring of blood pressure, pulse wave velocity determination. The perindopril therapy showed the reduction in average circadian blood pressure, pulse blood pressure and variability in systolic blood pressure. It was concluded that perindopril monotherapy is effective in patients with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension I–II degree.
