Abstract
A 59-year-old woman was diagnosed as 'white-coat hypertensive' in view of the discrepancy between office and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) profiles. She measured her systolic (S), mean arterial (MA) and diastolic (D) BP and heart rate (HR), mostly at 30-minute intervals, with an ambulatory monitor (ABPM-630 from Colin Medical Instruments, Komaki, Japan) from May 26, 1994, to April 20, 1995. On June 2, 1994, 18 months after removal of a pheochromocytoma, she started autogenic training (AT), 5-10 minutes per session, 3 sessions per day, around 08:00-10:00, 14:00-16:00 and 19:00-21:00. Retrospective control chart analyses revealed first both blood pressure MESOR- and amplitude-lowering effects, yet coincident with a conflict, the method also revealed the reversal of the desired AT effects upon both MESOR and circadian amplitude.
