Methodological aspects of circadian rhythm type diagnostics in 24-hour blood pressure monitoring Akhmetzyanova E.Kh.

Abstract

Different methods for determining circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm type are used, that makes it difficult to compare various authors' data on circadian BP rhythm type prevalence or its disturbances. A modification of circadian BP type diagnostics, based on parallel 24-hour monitoring of systolic, diastolic, and mean dynamic BP, is proposed.
