Pre-HD BP may correlate more strongly with LV mass than 24h ABPM in HD; leaves open whether ambulatory monitoring improves LVH prediction.
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring predict left ventricular hypertrophy more accurately than conventional blood pressure measurement in haemodialysis patients?
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring does not offer an advantage over conventional pre-hemodialysis blood pressure measurement in predicting left ventricular hypertrophy in hemodialysis patients.
