Key result
An office blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg in treated hypertensive patients corresponds to a mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure of 121.9/73.1 mm Hg.

What are the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure values corresponding to an office blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg in treated hypertensive patients?
In treated hypertensive patients with an office blood pressure of approximately 130/80 mm Hg, the corresponding 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure is approximately 122/73 mm Hg.
May guide ambulatory BP interpretation in treated hypertension; leaves open prospective outcome validation of these correspondences.
BACKGROUND: 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) values for patients who have office BP of 130/80 mm Hg have not been clearly reported. AIM: The determination of ABPM values in treated hypertensive subjects corresponding to a mean office BP of 130/80 mm Hg. METHODS: BP measurement in subjects 40-70 years old, by ABPM and mercury sphygmomanometer. The inclusion criteria were: mean office BP systolic (SBP) 128-132 mm Hg and diastolic (DBP) 78-82 mm Hg. Seventy six subjects met all study inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Mean office BP: SBP 129.5 ± 1.1 mm Hg, DBP 79.9 ± 1.3 mm Hg. Mean 24 hour BP: SBP 121.9 ± 2.0 mm Hg, DBP 73.1 ± 1.9 mm Hg. Mean awake BP: SBP 124.9 ± 2.4 mm Hg, DBP 75.5 ± 2.2 mm Hg. Mean asleep BP: SBP 109.1 ± 3.9 mm Hg, DBP 63.3 ± 4.0 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: The target values of ABPM identified in this study can be used in clinical practice and will contribute to risk stratification and treatment of hypertension.

Řiháček et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Hypertension (n=76). Office blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg was evaluated on Mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (SBP/DBP). An office blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg in treated hypertensive patients corresponds to a mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure of 121.9/73.1 mm Hg.
