Key Points

  • To compare the prognostic performance of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring versus clinic blood pressure measurements in predicting cardiovascular events among patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • Assessed and compared the predictive value of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) against standard in-office clinic blood pressure measurements.

Structured PICO

Does Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) better predict cardiovascular events compared to clinic blood pressure in patients with or without Type 2 Diabetes?

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is superior to clinic blood pressure for predicting cardiovascular events, regardless of type 2 diabetes status.

Abstract

These findings suggest that ABPM is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than clinic BP, and that this holds true for patients with or without T2DM.
