Key result
Fourier analysis with four harmonics provides an acceptable balance of accuracy and complexity to model diurnal blood pressure profiles and translate them into interpretable statistical parameters.
Fourier analysis with four harmonics provides an accessible and accurate method to model complex diurnal blood pressure profiles from ambulatory monitoring.

Supports Fourier modeling of ABPM profiles in research; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Staessen et al. (1993) conducted a review in Blood pressure profiles. Fourier analysis was evaluated. Fourier analysis with four harmonics provides an acceptable balance of accuracy and complexity to model diurnal blood pressure profiles and translate them into interpretable statistical parameters.
