[Approximately hourly biological rhythms: theoretical aspects and the prospects of clinical application].
The aim of the review is to attract attention to the importance of a dynamic approach to symptoms of health and pathology. In this regard, long-known approximately 24-hour or circadian rhythms (CR) are very prospective. However, according to recent studies, shorter approximately hourly rhythms (AHR) are of not less importance. Unlike CR, HR are not obtruded on the organism by periodical external influence of day-night pattern, but present cell's own fundamental property, a method of their metabolism. The fractal nature of HR has been substantiated; age-dependent changes in HR have been demonstrated; the importance of AHR for diagnostics and prognosis in gastroenterology and cardiology has been determined. To perform more clinical observations is an important task.
