Abstract

Hypertension is a medical problem with no permanent cure. Extended hypertension can cause various cardio vascular diseases, cerebral vascular diseases, and circulatory system trouble. Medical treatment at present does not consider circadian variation of blood pressure in patients ; therefore, the problem of over-reduction of blood pressure through drugs sometimes occurs. This paper presents a prediction model of circadian variation or moon blood pressure employing the endocrine grand and the autonomic nervous system.
