Mancia et al. (1996) conducted a review in Hypertension. 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring vs. Clinic blood pressure readings was evaluated. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is superior to isolated clinic readings in predicting target-organ damage and evaluating prognosis in hypertensive patients.
