The presence of a circadian rhythm in pulse arrival time and its application for classifying blood pressure night-time dip

Circadian rhythms of blood pressure (BP) have key diagnostic significance in the assessment of hypertension. The night-time dip or rise in BP (10-20% decrease or increase compared to daytime BP), for example, has been shown to be a strong indicator for cardiovascular disease. However, current method...

description Circadian rhythms of blood pressure (BP) have key diagnostic significance in the assessment of hypertension. The night-time dip or rise in BP (10-20% decrease or increase compared to daytime BP), for example, has been shown to be a strong indicator for cardiovascular disease. However, current methods for assessing the circadian rhythms of BP can be disruptive to sleep, work, and daily activities. Pulse arrival time (PAT) has been suggested as a surrogate measure of BP. This work investigates the presence of a circadian rhythm in PAT and evaluates its application to classify nocturnal BP dip or rise. 769 patients who were discharged home from the ICU were selected from the MIMIC database. Our results show a clear and observable circadian rhythm of PAT that is strongly inversely correlated with BP (r = -0.89). The ratios between nocturnal and diurnal changes in PAT accurately classifies an individual as a nocturnal BP dipper (AUC = 0.72) or a riser (AUC = 0.71). <br><i>Clinical Relevance </i>- This work shows that you can accurately assess an individuals's circadian rhythm of BP using PAT.
