Decreased circadian blood pressure variation up to three years after heart transplantation

The normal circadian blood pressure variation has been reported to be attenuated or completely abolished in cardiac transplant recipients. The reason for this attenuation is not clear, but it has been suggested to be related to the force-fed pump characteristics of the denervated heart or the use of...

Description
Summary:The normal circadian blood pressure variation has been reported to be attenuated or completely abolished in cardiac transplant recipients. The reason for this attenuation is not clear, but it has been suggested to be related to the force-fed pump characteristics of the denervated heart or the use of glucocorticoids, or both.
