Abstract

V originále

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is too often limited to only 24 hours. Too often, the data thus collected are analyzed by computing daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour means rather than assessing the circadian variation by cosinor. The day-night ratio (DNR) based on these mean values is then used for a classification in terms of “dipping”. Earlier work showed the large day-today variability in the circadian pattern of blood pressure (BP) observed in both normotensive and hypertensive individuals. Using data from the Brno database of 7-day/24-hour ABPM records, the extent of reproducibility of a classification in terms of “dipping” is examined herein by comparing results obtained on a daily basis versus those based on the entire record, used as reference. The percentage agreement for systolic (S) and diastolic (D) BP averaged (mean ± SE) 54.43 ± 1.37% and 59.09 ± 1.74%, respectively. Individually, the range in daily DNR values averaged 19.85 ± 0.58 and 26.48 ± 0.87 for SBP and DBP, respectively. These results suggest that the DNR computed from a 24-hour ABPM is not sufficiently reliable.
