| Popis | Franz Halberg and Germaine Cornelissen together with Brno chronobiological team using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring showed the need to account for day-to-day changes of blood pressure and heart rate and the necessity to circadian assessment of the hour-to- hour variability in cardiovascular parameters. Together with the Chronobiology Center of Minnesota we participate in the international project BIOCOS. The presentation in 2018 adds new results to this project BIOCOS (1,2 ,3,4,5,6,15,17,18,19,23,24,27). Franz Halberg in Brno Consensus 2008 proclaimed vascular variability disorders and included excessive pulse pressure (3,4). Excessive pulse pressure is defined by a difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure record more than 60 mmHg (25,28). Acceptable pulse pressure is below 60 mmHg. According to vascular variability disorders, an excessive pulse pressure increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Shift work schedule involving irregular or unusual hours, is becoming popular among people because of the high demand for flexibility and productivity in the workforce in modern society (7). It is reported that 15-30% of workers in America and Europe are engaged in different degrees of shift work, and the trend is increasing rapidly (8,9,10). |
