Abstract
Over a week, blood pressure (systolic, mean and diastolic) and heart rate were determined in a family, by means of automatic, uninterrupted monitoring. The chronobiological profile for each family member was prepared in time series of various periodicities. An ample circadian component and a lesser circaseptan component were apparent. Clear phase differences were identified among the four cardiovascular variables studied. The chronobiological profile of the children was closer to that of the father than to that of the mother.
Translated title of the contribution | Chronobiological profile of arterial blood pressure and heart rate in a family group determined by automatic monitoring |
