BP and beertrate (HR) were monitoredautomaticallyat l-rein intervals beforeand immediatelyafter CPT. Data were analyzedby tbe cosinormethod.l%edifferencebetweenthefiratpost-CPTBPvalueand the meanof the last 7 values prior to the CPT was a measureof CPT respnnse(at l-rein). Overall,ML’s systnlic(S) BP increaaedby 8.2 t 1.4 mm Hg and her diastolic(D) BP by 6.2 * 0.9 mm Hg (PcO.CO1). Increaseswere foundin 96% of the tests for SBP, 92% for DBP and 20% for HR. (Therewas only 1 tie for Hff [4%],rcstdtingin a HR dccreaaein 76% of CPTS.)The BP responseto CPT at 1 min after CPT was CS-dependent.The CS doubleamplitudesarc 12.5+ 4.1 (P=0,019) for SBP and 7.8 * 2.8 mm Hg (P=O.030)for DBP, with acrnpheaes nccttrringon late Sunday,cady Monday (at -50” and -67” from CO:COon Sunday for SBP and DBP, respectively, with 3600=1 week).

The circadianrc.spnnsc peakedin theearly morninghours(SBP:-80°;DBP; -1130),in keeping with results from the 4 adult subjaaa (SBP: -37°; DBP: -420),individualdifferencesnotwithstanding.The averagetiming of the krrgestoverall responseof BP m CPT coincideswith the timing nf the responseto other stimuli.The CS acrnphascscoincidewith tbe times of increased morbiditylmortality from vascular diseases demonstrated on over 100,000 cases (Corn41issen G. et al.

The rapmducibiiityof a normal or pathological circadian rhythm(i.a. ths prasencs of a nocturnal fall nf blcod pressure above or balow 10% vs daytima valuas) was assessed as well. 540 palients w“thessential hypertension undarwent ABPMtwice (internal 8-12 weeks). Patients were divided (depending on thair fall of nighttime BP) in: dippsrs (fall > 10% ofdayfima values, N=1B4),nondippers (fall. 10”A, N=12S)and intermediate (systolic alone or diastolic alona fall > 10%, N=228).

EFFECTS OF AMLODIPfNEAND NIFEDfPfNE RETARD ON 24-HOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART RATE AND AUTONOMIC NERVE ACTIVITIES IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS. J Minami, Y Kawsno*, T Ishimitsu, and S Takishita. Division of Hypertension, National Cardiovascular Center, Suitn, Osaka, Japan, We evaluated the effects of l,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists with a different biological half-life, amlodipine and nifedipine retard, on 24-hour blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and autonomic nerve activities inpatients with essential hypertension. Twenty hypertensive out-patients (14 women and 6 men; 63*2 yesrs, m+ SE) were enrolled in this study. Ambulatory BPand electrocardiogram were measured for24hourat intervakof 30 minutes using TM-2425 at control period, after 4 weeks of amlodipine administration (Aml: 2.5 mg or 5 mg once daily), and after 4 weeks of nifedipine retard administration (Nif: 10 mg or 20 mg twice daily). The order of the three periods were randomized. Autonomic nerve activities were evafuated by power spectral analysis of HR variability, using the high frequency (HF) component as an index of parasympathetic nerve activity and the ratio of the low frequency (LF) component to HF component (LF/HF) as an index of sympatho-vagal balance. Twenty-four-hour BP waa significantly decreased comparably by AmI or Nif (Aml: - 12.7k2,6/-5.6~l.4 mmHg, P< O.01/P< O.01; Nif: -15. 1*2.1/ -6.9?c1.5 mmHg, P< O,O1/P< O.01). HR did not change by Am], while it was significantly increased by Nif (+3.3* 1.2 bpm, P
