[Monitoring blood pressure. A chronobiological approach to diagnosis of hypertension].

In spite of time-depended variability of blood pressure (BP), the applied medicine uses fixed limits of standards, recommended by ROH for diagnostics of arterial hypertonia (AH). Such approach is nominally untenable. To interpret monitorizing of BP in it's time-depended variability during 24 hours, the analysis procedure should be changed. The new analysis method including comparison of BP-monitorizing results with respective standard time limits is called chronodiagnostics. Chronodiagnostical process is described in procedures of macro- and microanalysis of daily BP-curve. Each procedure has it's own statistical description and clinical significance.
