Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve the early identification of hypertension in pregnancy compared to conventional clinic blood pressure measurements?
ABPM, particularly using a time-specified tolerance limit and hyperbaric index, is proposed as a superior standard for the early diagnosis of hypertension in pregnancy compared to conventional clinic measurements.
Ayala et al. (2012) studied this question.
