title: Issues and technology to assess circadian variability of blood pressure in hypertension.
abstract: Three problems remain to be solved to assess the circadian profile of blood pressure, and night dipper-non-dipper, day-night and morning rise of blood pressure in essential hypertension have been discussed. Both medical and bioengineering issues have been discussed to solve these important problems.
