Chronobiologia. 1987 Jul-Sep;14(3):297-9.

Abstract

The study of 53 series of blood pressures at half-hour intervals from clinically healthy full-term newborns during the first days of life reveals various classifiers correlating with a history of high blood pressure: the circadian amplitude of diastolic blood pressure, the 50% range of systolic blood pressure and the standard deviation of heart rate.
