Nighttime home SBP may refine albuminuria prediction beyond other measures; leaves open prospective validation versus ambulatory monitoring.
Does nighttime home blood pressure monitoring improve the prediction of hypertensive target organ damage compared to other blood pressure measures in patients with cardiovascular risk factors?
Nighttime home blood pressure monitoring is comparable to nighttime ambulatory monitoring and improves the prediction of hypertensive target organ damage when added to other BP measures.
