摘要:
Over 900 days of data records for blood pressure (systolic, diastolic) and heart rate for a single subject with mild hypertension were analyzed. From the data the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) was calculated. Linear regression over the entire time revealed a slight trend to higher MAP and lower heart rates. A clear circadian behaviour and a difference between work days (Mon-Fri) and weekends for the MAP data was detected.
