Variability of arterial hypertension as an additional factor to cardiovascular risk in atrial fibrillation

Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature on the role of hypertension in the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation, therelationshipbetweenwhichincreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The importance of taking into account the increased variability of BP in the development of target organ damage and adverse cardiovascular events is shown. Approaches to the choice of antihypertensive therapy in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation have been identified. It has been found that reducing BP variability can be added as one of the most important strategies in the treatment of hypertension and atrial fibrillation.
