Although it is widely recognized that there are significant variations in
the circulation throughout the 24-hour day, these patterns have often been conceived as nuisance variables rather than functional

differences. Responses of the circulation are examined here not as

stable phenomena, but as integrated functions highly sensitive

to environmental conditions, and driven by internal and external

pacesetters. In this volume, cardiologists with a primary interest in

hypertension or heart disease, chronobiologists, and psychologists join

together for the first time to give the reader the opportunity to learn

the extent and clinical significance of these changes from

a chronobiological, behavioral and physiological perspective.
