Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1993
During the past decade, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has risen rapidly as a diagnostic technique used in clinical research trials and, more recently, in clinical practice. Blood pressure monitors have become smaller, technologically improved, and quiet during recordings--all features that have increased patient compliance. During the past year,

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

Southern Medical Journal, 2003
Noninvasive, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has evolved over the past 25 years from a novel research tool of limited clinical use into an important and useful modality for stratifying cardiovascular risk and guiding therapeutic decisions.

Direct blood pressure monitoring

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2000
Veterinary care has continued to advance by implementing more of the equipment and techniques that are commonly used in human medicine. This includes the placement of arterial catheters and pulmonary artery catheters and continuous monitoring of arterial pressure, central venous pressure, and pulmonary artery pressure.

Perioperative blood pressure monitoring

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2019
Arterial blood pressure monitoring is a major part of the decision-making process for every anesthetic. It is important to recognize the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of available measurement modalities as well as have some understanding of the engineering principles on which these measurements are based.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1994
Non-invasive measurement of blood pressure in ambulatory humans began in the 1960s. Ambulatory devices have been modified over the years and are now pocket-sized, with almost noiseless pumps. Their accuracy must be validated by independent laboratories using a standardised protocol.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: mean blood pressure and blood pressure load

Pediatric Nephrology, 2005
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is commonly used to diagnose pediatric hypertension. Using ABPM, hypertension is usually defined as a mean BP greater than the 95th percentile for height. A BP load >30% (% of BP readings greater than the 95th percentile) is also used for the diagnosis of hypertension.

Comparative accuracies of a finger blood pressure monitor and an oscillometric blood pressure monitor

Journal of Clinical Monitoring, 1991
A noninvasive blood pressure monitor (Finapres) that uses the methodology of Penaz to continuously display the arterial waveform from the finger has been introduced recently. The Finapres monitor overestimated systolic pressure by 5.8 +/- 11.9 mm Hg, while the Dinamap monitor underestimated systolic pressure by -6.9 +/- 9.2 mm Hg (P = 0.003).

Monitoring your blood pressure

Postgraduate Medicine, 1999
About 60 million Americans have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It occurs when the pressure of your blood against the artery walls is higher than normal. Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer" because it causes no symptoms but greatly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.

Ambulatory Monitoring Of Blood Pressure

Hospital Practice, 1991
When ambulatory monitoring results differ from office values it is very likely that the ambulatory readings more accurately reflect patient status. Thus, a determination of 24-hour antihypertensive control and comparison of the efficacy of drug regimens can help to prevent undertreatment as well as overtreatment.

Blood pressure measurment and monitoring

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1992
Recent developments in blood pressure measurement have emphasized recordings taken outside the physician's office. Such readings can recognize the spuriously high levels recorded in "white coat" hypertension. Nocturnal and early morning readings can detect silent complications and impending cardiovascular accidents.
