Why the study?
Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement predict total and cardiovascular mortality independently of clinic blood pressure in adults aged 65 years and over?

Ambulatory blood pressure measurement, particularly night-time blood pressure, is superior to clinic measurement in predicting cardiovascular mortality in older adults.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Night-time BP may refine CV mortality prediction in older adults beyond clinic measures; extends evidence but requires prospective trials before practice change.
Burr et al. (2008) studied this question.
