[Table/Fig-7]:
Blood pressure (BP) in patients with and without arterial hypertension.
| Parameter | Time | Minimum | Maximum | Mean±SD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patients with Arterial Hypertension (n=38) | ||||
| Systolic BP (mmHg) | U1 | 115.0 | 171.0 | 135.58±11.87 |
| U2 | 105.0 | 145.0 | 122.00±8.33 | |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg) | U1 | 66.0 | 102.0 | 84.05±5.78 |
| U2 | 63 | 90 | 76.87±5.81 | |
| Patients without Arterial Hypertension (n=14) | ||||
| Systolic BP (mmHg) | U1 | 115.0 | 160.0 | 136.64±14.40 |
| U2 | 113.0 | 145.0 | 126.07±9.82 | |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg) | U1 | 62.0 | 100.0 | 86.50±8.93 |
| U2 | 61 | 90 | 80.64±7.01 | |
| Comparison of Patients with or without Arterial Hypertension* | ||||
| Parameter | Mean Difference** | Standard-Error | p-value*** | |
| Systolic BP (mmHg)–U1 | −1.06 | 3.93 | 0.788 | |
| Systolic BP (mmHg)–U2 | −4.07 | 2.73 | 0.142 | |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg)–U1 | −2.45 | 2.11 | 0.251 | |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg)–U2 | −3.77 | 1.92 | 0.055 | |
* Levene’s test did not show a significant difference between the variance in both groups. Therefore, the t-test was used. **Negative values reflect an increase from U1 to U2. *** two-sided significance.
