Why the study?
Does Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM), or both better diagnose masked hypertension?
Does Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM), or both better diagnose masked hypertension?
Conducting ABPM is useful for detecting masked hypertension in individuals with increased cardiovascular disease risk.
ABPM may flag masked hypertension cases with higher CVD risk; this leaves open comparative value versus HBPM in larger trials.
, P=0.693). These data suggest that conducting ABPM will detect many individuals with MHT who have an increased cardiovascular disease risk.
