Why the study?
Does the tolerance-hyperbaric test improve diagnostic sensitivity for hypertension compared to blood pressure load and 24-hour mean in previously untreated subjects?
Does the tolerance-hyperbaric test improve diagnostic sensitivity for hypertension compared to blood pressure load and 24-hour mean in previously untreated subjects?
The hyperbaric index derived from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides a highly sensitive and reproducible method for diagnosing hypertension compared to traditional metrics.
