The influence of posture on the rhythms in blood pressure, heart rate and respiration was tested by means of spectral analysis in 14 healthy subjects. During squatting, standing and sitting, the finger blood pressure was recorded by the non- invasive Pefiaz technique together with cardiac intervals and respiratory movements. The power spectra obtained from five-minute samples showed that the respiratory components of cardiac interval and pulse pressure were reduced significantly in standing. Compared to squatting, a significant increase of total power in the medium frequency band (0.05-0.15 Hz) for cardiac interval, diastolic and mean pressure could be detected.
