In spontaneously hypertensive rats, circadian blood pressure rhythmicity is controlled by vascular autonomic activity, while circadian heart rate rhythmicity is independent of autonomic tone.

Autonomic vascular control may govern circadian BP rhythm in hypertension models; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Oosting et al. (1997) studied this question.
