Key result
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after aortic coarctation repair revealed daytime systolic hypertension in 29% of patients and nocturnal hypertension in 24% of daytime normotensive patients.
Why the study?
What is the prevalence of daytime and nocturnal hypertension in children and adolescents after surgical repair of aortic coarctation?
Observational (n=78)
What is the prevalence of daytime and nocturnal hypertension in children and adolescents after surgical repair of aortic coarctation?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reveals a high prevalence of masked nocturnal hypertension in children and adolescents after successful aortic coarctation repair.

May warrant ABPM surveillance after coarctation repair; hypothesis-generating for masked nocturnal hypertension's clinical impact.
Bald et al. (2000) conducted an observational in aortic coarctation (n=78). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was evaluated on systolic hypertension during daytime. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after aortic coarctation repair revealed daytime systolic hypertension in 29% of patients and nocturnal hypertension in 24% of daytime normotensive patients.
