Implication

Supports Pressurometer II for ambulatory BP research in normotensives; leaves open validation in hypertensives and against modern devices.

Structured PICO

Does the Pressurometer II provide reliable ambulatory blood pressure readings compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in normotensive subjects?

P
Population
Normotensive subjects (n=15 for position comparison, n=9 for day-to-day reproducibility, n=20 hospitalized for diurnal variations)
I
Intervention
Pressurometer II ambulatory blood pressure recording device
C
Comparator
Mercury sphygmomanometer
O
Outcome
Correlation in systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings between devices across different positionssurrogate

The Pressurometer II provides reliable and reproducible 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements compared to standard mercury sphygmomanometry.
