Abstract
Alterations of the circadian rhythms in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) have been associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. The influence of alcohol consumption on the circadian rhythm characteristics of BP is here examined, and the extent to which such alteration of the circadian BP rhythm contributes to cardiovascular disease risk is assessed.
