Does higher ambulatory blood pressure predict cardiovascular events in patients with treated hypertension?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides independent prognostic value for cardiovascular events beyond traditional office blood pressure measurements in treated hypertensive patients.
In patients with treated hypertension, a higher ambulatory systolic or diastolic blood pressure predicts cardiovascular events even after adjustment for classic risk factors including office measurements of blood pressure.
