Background:Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a highly lethal condition. Prevetion of CHF requires aggressive strategies aimed at its predominant risk factors, the most important of which is arterial hypertension which independently accounts for cases of CHF in men and women . Hypertention is a fundamental precursor of CHF resulting from both systolic and diastolic dysfunction . Lowering high blood pressure results in a markedly decreased risk for CHF . Increased blood pressure is involved not only in the pathogenesis of CHF , but also in the inexorable progression of cardiac dysfunction once CHF is established. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (AMBP) reflects the peripheral vascular circulate condition on some degree in heart failures. There are little reports about the conditions of peripheral in CHF.
