May enhance long-term hypertension prediction in borderline cases; supports prospective validation before changing practice.
Does 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurement predict 10-year blood pressure status in men with borderline hypertension?
Adding 24-h ABPM to office BP in men with borderline hypertension improves the long-term prediction of future normotension, potentially reducing unnecessary follow-up and treatment.
