INTRAINDIVIDUAL VARIATION ON BLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS MAY AVOID THE RISK FACTORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN YOUNG ADULTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A repeated measurement (in stable conditions) of the components of Blood Pressure is ideal for tracking modifications of the clinical state to avoid the risk of cardiovascular events. It is also an essential tool in the investigation of cardiovascular disease. Aims and objectives: The aim of the present study is to examine the diurnal variation of the components of Blood Pressure at the different time of the day. Methods: The study was conducted at Clinical laboratory, Department of Physiology, SBKS medical institute and research centre SVU, Vadodara, India. The total number of students included in the study was one hundred. The components of blood pressure including Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Pulse Pressure, Mean arterial pressure, Rate Pressure Product have been measured. Results: The diurnal variation of these parameters was significantly greater in men than in women. The differences in the parameters were in its maximum level during afternoon. Conclusion: Diurnal variability of blood pressure components may determine the risk factors of cardiovascular disease
