Diagnosis





How reliable and reproductible are casual blood pressure measurements and even results from 24-hour ambulatory monitoring?

MESOR-hypertension only for 5 consecutive days at beginning of record but not for ensuing 16 days (top left) or for 11-day span in April (bottom left) or for 11-day span in July (not shown). The circadian amplitude is acceptable for the first three days, but intermittently excesive thereafter in February (but not in April or July). Acrophase is deviant only initially.
