Abstract:
The time course of blood pressure in clinically healthy (pregnant and nonpregnant) women was followed by automatic ambulatory monitoring. Chronobiologic methods revealed the time course of dynamic rhythm characteristics as a function of gestational age. Differences were found between nonpregnant and pregnant women with an overall lowering during pregnancy of the rhythm-adjusted midline estimating statistic of rhythm (mesor).
