Assessment of Nocturnal Blood Pressure by Home Blood Pressure Monitoring [PDF]
Among blood pressure measurements obtained by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), nocturnal blood pressure has been reported to have greater prognostic significance than daytime blood pressure or 24-h blood pressure (1, 2). Blunted nocturnal blood pressure dipping (as seen in nondippers or risers) has also been shown to be a risk factor for ...
