Possibilities of Interpreting the Night-to-Day Ratio Specified by 24-hour Blood Pressure Monitoring

The subjects in the study are divided into 4 groups: group 1 (40 healthy men and women without exercise); group 2 (40 healthy exercise-training men and women); group 3 (40 patients with ischemic coronary artery disease without exercise); and group 4 (51 patients with ischemic coronary artery disease following cardiovascular rehabilitation). The subject of the evaluation is the percentage rate of incorrect subject classification (dipper, non-dipper, extreme dipper, and risers) based on the mean blood pressure values for 7 days and from seven independent 24-hour cycles (the mean value mode).
