  • Title: 24-hour noninvasive oscillometric blood pressure monitoring: evaluation of the antihypertensive circadian profile of nitrendipine.
    Author: Meyer-Sabellek W, Schulte KL, Streitberg B, Gotzen R, Distler A.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Pharmacol; 1988; 12 Suppl 4():S22-8. PubMed ID: 2468870.
    Abstract:
    The understanding of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) variation, circadian changes, and the responses to nonclinical situations has been improved by automated ambulatory recordings. The antihypertensive efficacy of a once-daily regimen (10/20 mg) of nitrendipine was evaluated in detail using the lightest available portable device equipped with an oscillometric blood pressure (BP) recorder (SpaceLabs 90202, weight 480 g) devoid of any electrode. A good antihypertensive effect throughout the day in 20 outpatients could be demonstrated. No significant change of BP could be found in early morning and wake-up period; HR was not significantly affected after 6 weeks of oral therapy.
