Key result
24-hour intraarterial BP correlates more strongly with target organ damage than casual cuff BP.
Why the study?
Does 24-h intraarterial blood pressure monitoring correlate better with target organ damage than cuff sphygmomanometer measurements in hypertensive patients?
Observational (n=108)
Does 24-h intraarterial blood pressure monitoring correlate better with target organ damage than cuff sphygmomanometer measurements in hypertensive patients?
24-hour blood pressure means and variability are superior to casual cuff measurements in correlating with target organ damage in hypertensive patients.

Supports 24-h intraarterial BP monitoring over cuff readings for target organ damage assessment; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Zanchetti et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Hypertension (n=108). 24-h intraarterial blood pressure monitoring vs. Cuff sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Incidence and severity of target organ damage. 24-hour intraarterial blood pressure means and variability were more closely related to the incidence and severity of target organ damage than casual cuff blood pressure values.
