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.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Current Hypertension Reports, 2000
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is becoming widely accepted as a clinically useful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, although it is not generally recognized for reimbursement in the United States. There are now six major prospective studies, all of which have shown that ABPM gives a better prediction of risk ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oscillometric Blood Pressure Monitors

British Journal of Perioperative Nursing (United Kingdom), 2000
The mercury sphygmomanometer has been used to measure blood pressure for over a century (O'Brien 2000, Smith 2000), but due to the hazards associated with mercury spillage, there is increasing reliance on other methods, such as automatic oscillometric blood pressure monitors and aneroid sphygmomanometers.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Medical Journal of Australia, 2002
End-organ damage associated with hypertension is more closely related to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. ABP measurements give better prediction of clinical outcome than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements.
