What is the prevalence of adverse prognostic features identified by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with suspected or confirmed blood pressure disorders?
A large proportion of patients undergoing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring exhibit at least one adverse prognostic feature, highlighting its utility in risk stratification.
24-h ABPM refines hypertension prognosis; Level 4 data leaves open optimal thresholds for contemporary risk stratification.
Twenty four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-H ABPM) plays an important part in the management of subjects with suspected and confirmed disorders of blood pressure regulation. This article reviews the prognostic significance of various aspects of the 24-H ABPM and describes the authors experience in Chesterfield. Over the course of 12 month period from 1 August 2002, 1264 subjects had 24-ABPM. A total of 1187 (93.91%) subjects were included in this study, with mean age of 59.30 years and male:female ratio was 46%: 54 %. Fifty two (4.38%) of the subjects had all of the seven features associated with an adverse prognosis. Only 82 (6.90%) subjects had none of the seven adverse prognostic features with the remainder having one or more adverse prognostic features.

Madin et al. (2006) conducted an observational in suspected and confirmed disorders of blood pressure regulation (n=1,187). 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was evaluated on presence of adverse prognostic features on 24-H ABPM. Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring revealed that 4.38% of subjects had all seven adverse prognostic features, while 6.90% had none.
