Is it possible in table mode to have a table expand as well as contract?  
If you make a header which has a minimal amount of spaces in it say:
| date | time | syst | dias | pulse |
+-

Then put an entry like:
| <2011-07-09 Sat>\t08:06AM\t139\t89\t81

in that table then save that table, will the header be adjusted to fit the 
entry below it?

"+-" is only for table.el format AFAIK. For Org tables format you need
"|-" or "C-c -". Then you will get the expanded header:
| date             | time    | syst | dias | pulse |
|------------------+---------+------+------+-------|
| <2011-07-09 Sat> | 08:06AM |  139 |   89 |    81 |

Is that what you are looking for?

Michael
