Overview

Ambulatory BP may better indicate target organ damage risk than casual readings; leaves open whether it should guide therapy in borderline hypertension.

Structured PICO

Does continuous ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlate better with target organ damage than casual blood pressure in patients with borderline hypertension?

P
Population
56 patients with borderline hypertension
I

O
Outcome
Difference between casual and average daytime ambulatory blood pressure, and correlation with target organ damagesurrogate

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlates better with target organ damage than casual blood pressure measurements in patients with borderline hypertension.
