Abstract
Recordings were obtained in twelve male patients with essential hypert ension who participated in a rehabilitation programme. Ambulatory reco rdings of blood pressure, heart rate, and activity were conducted duri ng two sessions one day after the other, then again 14 days later. A c omputer-based self-report of setting conditions and mood was included. There was a significant (p <0.05) decrease in mean blood pressure fro m day 1 to day 2 (overall mean 5.5 mmHg systolic/2.6 mmHg diastolic BP ; daytime 4.8/2.6, and nightime 11.0/3.1 mmHg). The evaluation of psyc hological data indicated that an adaptation effect is present for ABPM .
