Hypertension types defined by clinic and ambulatory blood pressure in 14 143 patients referred to hypertension clinics worldwide. Data from the ARTEMIS study

Q: What are the key findings of this study?

Clinic blood pressure monitoring detected a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (72% vs. 60%, P < 0.0001) in a global registry of 14,143 patients.

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cross-Sectional. Population: Hypertension (n=14143). Intervention: Clinic blood pressure (CBP) monitoring vs. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring. Primary outcome: Prevalence of hypertension (p=< 0.0001).

Implication

Clinic BP risks overestimating hypertension prevalence; warrants diagnostic caution and leaves open ABP's role in refining global estimates.

Population

14,143 patients attending hypertension clinics across 27 countries in all five continents, mean age 57 ± 14 years, 51% men.

Outcome

Prevalence and distribution of hypertension types (sustained, white-coat, masked) defined by clinic blood pressure (≥140/90 mmHg) and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (≥130/80 mmHg).

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 72% vs 60%

p-value: p=< 0.0001

Clinic blood pressure measurements overestimate hypertension prevalence compared to ambulatory monitoring, with significant regional and demographic variations in white-coat and masked hypertension patterns worldwide.

Omboni et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=14,143). Clinic blood pressure (CBP) monitoring vs. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension (p=< 0.0001). Clinic blood pressure monitoring detected a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (72% vs. 60%, P < 0.0001) in a global registry of 14,143 patients.
