Key result
Mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure correlated significantly more strongly with left ventricular mass index (r=0.52; 95% CI 0.50-0.54) than did outpatient systolic blood pressure (r=0.25).
Why the study?
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlate better with left ventricular mass index than clinic blood pressure in patients with chronic renal failure?
Observational (n=85)
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlate better with left ventricular mass index than clinic blood pressure in patients with chronic renal failure?
Effect estimate: r = 0.52 (95% CI 0.50-0.54)
In patients with chronic renal failure, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlates more strongly with left ventricular mass index than clinic blood pressure measurements.

Supports stronger ABPM-LVMI correlation in CKD; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification, pending prospective validation.
Tucker et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Chronic renal failure (n=85). 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring vs. Outpatient clinic blood pressure was evaluated on Correlation between left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and systolic blood pressure (r = 0.52, 95% CI 0.50-0.54). Mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure correlated significantly more strongly with left ventricular mass index (r=0.52; 95% CI 0.50-0.54) than did outpatient systolic blood pressure (r=0.25).
