Single and CBPM measurements may misclassify hypertension in pregnancy; leaves open whether 24-hour monitoring should guide care.
Does 24-hour automatic blood pressure monitoring yield different blood pressure values and diagnostic classifications compared to conventional monitoring in pregnant women hospitalized for hypertension?
24-hour blood pressure monitoring yields significantly different values compared to conventional methods in hypertensive pregnancy, potentially causing high rates of misdiagnosis if standard cut-offs are applied.
