Diagnosing Hypertension in Primary Care: A Comparison of Three Methods

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the office and home blood pressure measurements with 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurements, and to decide which method could be used for the diagnosis of hypertension in primary care.

Acute and chronic effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on ambulatory blood pressure

Clinics, 2010
Hypertension is a ubiquitous and serious disease. Regular exercise has been recommended as a strategy for the prevention and treatment of hypertension because of its effects in reducing clinical blood pressure; however, ambulatory blood pressure is a ...

P3.19 AORTIC PULSE PRESSURE BETTER PREDICTS INCREASES ARTERIAL STIFFNESS COMPARED TO BRACHIAL AND AMBULATORY MEASUREMENTS

Artery Research, 2013
Objectives: Hypertension is associated with increased arterial stiffness, which is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. Aortic systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or pulse pressure (PP) better predicts cardiovascular events than peripheral ...

Classification of blood pressure during sleep impacts designation of nocturnal nondipping.

PLOS Digital Health, 2023
The identification of nocturnal nondipping blood pressure (< 10% drop in mean systolic blood pressure from awake to sleep periods), as captured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, is a valuable element of risk prediction for cardiovascular disease ...

Office blood pressure versus ambulatory blood pressure measurement in childhood obesity

BMC Pediatrics, 2023
Background The prevalence of obesity-related co-morbidities is rising parallel to the childhood obesity epidemic. High blood pressure (BP), as one of these co-morbidities, is detected nowadays at increasingly younger ages.

Target Blood Pressure Values in Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2022
2018 ESC/ESH guidelines have recommended 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to assess hypotensive therapy in many circumstances. Recommended target blood pressure in office blood pressure measurements is between 120/70 and 130/80 mmHg. Such targets for 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring lacks.We aimed to define target values of blood ...

Classification of Blood Pressure Levels by Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Hypertension [PDF]

Hypertension, 2002
Whereas clinic blood pressure (CBP) above normality is divided into stages, no corresponding classifications are available for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP). We conducted a study (1) to define stages of hypertension by ABP corresponding to CBP stages and (2) to evaluate if these stages have prognostic impact similar to CBP stages.

The Post Clinic Ambulatory Blood Pressure (PC-ABP) study correlates Post Clinic Blood Pressure (PCBP) with the gold standard Ambulatory Blood Pressure

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective Our previous study showed that post-clinic blood pressure (BP) taken 15 min after a physician–patient encounter was the lowest reading in a routine clinic.

Acute aerobic exercise reduces 24-h ambulatory blood pressure levels in long-term-treated hypertensive patients

Clinics, 2008
BACKGROUND: Even with anti-hypertensive therapy, it is difficult to maintain optimal systemic blood pressure values in hypertensive patients. Exercise may reduce blood pressure in untreated hypertensive, but its effect when combined with long-term anti ...
