  • Title: Circadian rhythm of cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance, and related variables by a beat-to-beat monitoring.
    Author: Cugini P, Di Palma L, Di Simone S, Lucia P, Battisti P, Coppola A, Leone G.
    Journal: Chronobiol Int; 1993 Feb; 10(1):73-8. PubMed ID: 8443846.
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to explore the 24-h patterns of stroke volume, cardiac output, and peripheral vascular resistance along with other correlated variables, such as left ventricular ejection time, ejection velocity index, thoracic fluid index, heart rate, and blood pressure. The study was performed on 12 clinically healthy subjects by means of a noninvasive beat-to-beat monitoring using the thoracic electric bioimpedance technique associated with the automated sphygmomanometric recording. Time data series were analyzed by means of chronobiological procedures. The results documented the occurrence of a circadian rhythm for all the variables investigated, giving relevance to the beat-to-beat bioperiodicity of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. Temporal quantification of the investigated variables may be useful for a better insight of the chronophysiology of the cardiovascular apparatus.
