Why the study?
Although 24-h ABPM is the most important method to establish true hypertension, repeated AOBP measurements are often used in clinical practice due to convenience and lower costs, prompting evaluation of their agreement.
Does 30-60 minute automated office blood pressure measurement accurately agree with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement for the diagnosis of hypertension in patients with known hypertension or prior minor stroke/TIA?
Does 30-60 minute automated office blood pressure measurement accurately agree with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement for the diagnosis of hypertension in patients with known hypertension or prior minor stroke/TIA?
Automated office blood pressure measurements over 30-60 minutes show relatively low agreement with 24-hour ambulatory monitoring and cannot reliably replace it for confirming a hypertension diagnosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AOBP cannot substitute for 24-h ABPM; leaves open whether refined office protocols improve agreement in hypertension or post-stroke care.
