The aim of this study was to assess the effect of menopause on circadian profile of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in the normotensive pre- and postmenopausal women. Systolic BP (SBP), diagnostic BP (DBP) and HR were monitored every 30 min for 48 hrs using noninvasive ambulatory BP monitoring in 24 premenopausal and 40 postmenopausal women. Mean 48-hours, daytime (awake), and nighttime (sleeping) SBP, DBP and HR values were analyzed by reviewing the patients' diaries, and the nocturnal reduction rate (NRR) of SBP, DBP and HR were calculated according to the following formula. NRR (%9 = [(daytime mean-nighttime mean)/daytime mean] x 100. The study subjects were then divided into two groups according to the presence (dipper) or absence (nondipper) of a significant reduction in nocturnal BP (> 10%). Mean SBP, DBP and HR measured over 48 hours were similar between the premenopausal and the postmenopausal group. The NRR of DBP and HR in the postmenopausal group were significantly smaller than those in the premenopausal group (17.1 +/- 6.0% vs. 13.5 +/- 7.0%, 241.1 +/- 6.0% vs. 19.8 +/- 9.0%: p < 0.05). There tended to be higher prevalence of nondipper in the postmenopausal (37%) than in the premenopausal group (29%).
