Does 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring detect early blood pressure alterations in normotensive adolescents with type 1 diabetes compared to healthy controls?
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can detect early nocturnal blood pressure alterations in normotensive adolescents with type 1 diabetes before the onset of microalbuminuria.
Lopes et al. (2002) conducted a case-control in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (n=52). Type 1 diabetes mellitus vs. Controls was evaluated on Percentage decrease during the night in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In adolescents with type 1 diabetes, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring detected a significantly smaller nocturnal decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to controls.
