Introduction and objectives: Coronary heart disease is one of the complications of hypertension. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring allows studying the different circadian patterns of blood pressure, but there is not enough evidence linking coronary heart disease with different circadian patterns. This research was carried out with the purpose of characterizing the circadian patterns of blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension and coronary heart disease. Methods: Descriptive and transversal research in 68 hypertensive patients with coronary heart disease who underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The different circadian patterns of blood pressure were related to the different forms of coronary heart disease and to the control of blood pressure. Results: In the sample, women (60.3%) predominated over men (39.7%). The ages were between 45 to 59 (63.3%) and those 60 and over (36.7%). 44.1% did not have their blood pressure under control, 45.6% were overweight and 38.2% were obese. The abnormal patterns were dipper 42.6%, non-dipper 41.2%, extreme dipper 7.4% and riser 8.8%. Morning surge was observed in 29 patients (42.6%), statistically significant in relation to the control of blood pressure (p = 0.033), but not with the different types of coronary heart disease studied. Conclusions: A statistically significant relationship was found between morning surge and control of blood pressure.
