  1. Mean (±SD) values for systemic, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (measured with the HDO and the Cardell device), plasma ET-1 and serum cortisol concentration measured on two separate days (M1 and M2). No significant differences between M1 and M2 were detected for any of the variables. (P ≤ 0.05) BP S : systolic blood pressure, BP D : diastolic blood pressure, CV: Coefficient of variation. n = 18, except for plasma ET-1 where n = 16.
