Why the study?
What are the ambulatory blood pressure equivalents to clinic blood pressure thresholds for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension?
What are the ambulatory blood pressure equivalents to clinic blood pressure thresholds for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension?
Daytime ambulatory blood pressure thresholds are slightly lower than equivalent clinic values measured by trained staff, providing a framework for hypertension management using ambulatory monitoring.

May refine ambulatory BP thresholds for hypertension diagnosis; leaves open prospective outcome validation before practice change.
