Trimester-specific BP load thresholds may improve hypertension detection in pregnancy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does blood pressure load from ambulatory monitoring accurately detect hypertension in pregnancy?
Blood pressure load from ambulatory monitoring requires lower, trimester-specific reference limits to achieve adequate sensitivity for detecting hypertension in pregnancy.
