Abstract
Aim Of The Study:
to assess the reproducibility of blood pressure and heart rate variability measurements in time and frequency domain, by using a Finapres device in healthy volunteers.
Methods:
16 normotensive subjects aged 22 to 51 years underwent within a 5-day interval two non-invasive blood pressure recordings by a Finapres device over 15 minutes both in supine and standing positions, at the same time of the day.
Statistical Analysis:
non parametric tests, relative errors, and intraclass correlation coefficient.
Results:
[table: see text]
Conclusion:
the data provided by the FINAPRES device, especially the baroreflex sensitivity measured in standing position, show a good day to day reproducibility.
