Instrumentation and Data Analysis Methods Needed for Blood Pressure Monitoring in Chronobiology

  • Chapter
Chronobiotechnology and Chronobiological Engineering

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 120))

Abstract

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a medical problem receiving much attention today, since its treatment can prevent major incapacitating diseases. A vast literature indeed indicates that a high BP constitutes an important risk factor in the development of strokes and a variety of other diseases, including those of the heart and the kidney (Australian national blood pressure study, 1980). Although the etiology of high BP remains obscure, extensive life insurance statistics document the point that early detection and treatment can prolong useful life. The remarkable “42% decrease in strokes” since 1972 emphasized by Kolata (1983a) is in the opinion of many a benefit from treating high BP.
