Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the blood pressure profile of newly diagnosed acromegalic patients, using a two-step method of analysis proposed by Ataessenet al.(Siegel's Runs TEst , followed by a 4 harmonics Fourier analysis).50 newly diagnosed acromegalic patients were submitted to 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. A preserved BP circadian rhythm was observed in such patients when compared with the control group (50 healthy subject). Based on our data, in discordance with the literature, a direct effect on blood pressure profile seems to be excluded, whereas a blunted rhythm could represent a marker of end-organ damage or metabolic impairment.File allegati a questo prodotto
