The present article is aimed to make the status of the art on the diagnosis of hypertension using the non-invasive automated devices for measuring blood pressure (BP) over the 24 h span. The diagnostic procedure is based on specific criteria eminently devoted to the temporal evaluation of the BP 24 h pattern in its variability, either discrete or periodic. The procedure, called "chronodiagnosis of hypertension", is articulated in three procedural levels, each corresponding to a particular chronobiometry of the BP 24 h pattern. The chronodiagnostic procedure is detailed step by step.
本文旨在阐述利用无创自动设备在24小时内测量血压（BP）来诊断高血压的技术现状。诊断程序基于专门用于对24小时血压模式的变异性（无论是离散的还是周期性的）进行时间评估的特定标准。该程序称为“高血压的时间诊断”，分为三个程序级别，每个级别对应于24小时血压模式的特定时间生物学特征。时间诊断程序将逐步详细介绍。
