To present a 3-dimensional approach to displaying and interpreting processes of cardiovascular adaptation. Laboratory study of blood pressure changes in response to a protocol set in advance. The authors plotted the coordinates of 3711 cardiovascular change events (CVCEs) in 3-dimensional space defi...
