Arterial {CrossCarry}R Documentation

Arterial pressure data of crossover design

Description

Data of a crossover experiment with three treatments to control arterial pressure: treatment A is a placebo, treatments B and C are 20 and 40 mg doses of a test drug. Thus, there were six three-period sequences: ABC, ACB, BCA, BAC, CAB and CBA, each one of them was applied to two individuals lasting six weeks each. Due to ethical reasons, there was no washout period between the treatments. In each period, 10 consecutive measurements of diastolic arterial pressure were taken: 30 and 15 minutes before, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120 and 240 minutes after the administration of the treatment
