Key result
24-hour blood pressure measurement has greater prognostic power than clinic values in determining cardiovascular pathology in hypertension.
Why the study?
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve prognostic assessment compared to clinic blood pressure values in patients with hypertension?
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve prognostic assessment compared to clinic blood pressure values in patients with hypertension?
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may provide superior prognostic information compared to isolated clinic measurements in hypertensive patients.

Supports ambulatory monitoring for prognosis in hypertension; leaves open prospective outcome trials before practice change.
Mann et al. (1985) conducted a review in Hypertension. 24-hour blood pressure measurement vs. Clinic blood pressure values was evaluated on Prognosis / cardiovascular pathology. 24-hour blood pressure measurement has greater prognostic power than clinic values in determining cardiovascular pathology in hypertension.
