Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve management in patients with suspected office-induced BP increases or resistant hypertension?

Population

Untreated and treated patients suspected of having an office-induced increase in BP, apparent resistance to drug therapy, symptoms suggestive of hypotension, or fluctuating office BP readings
