A plot of the mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic BP (SBP) versus mean diastolic BP (DBP) of 671 individual patients measured during daytime (A) and nighttime (B). Patients younger or older than 50 years of age are distinguished by color and symbol. The white-filled rectangles are the regions of controlled BP < 135/85 mmHg for daytime and <120/70 mmHg for nighttime). The mean pulse pressure (PP) is constant on the diagonal lines (dotted) with marked values (20, 30,…,110 mmHg). The lines to which arrows are attached point to zones of elevated peripheral resistance (green: SBP > 135 mmHg) and elevated arterial stiffness (red: PP > 55 mmHg). These lines define the zones 1, 2, 3, and 4 (see text)
