Can ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring provide reliable indices of arterial stiffness?
BACKGROUND The use of ambulatory recordings of blood pressure (BP) was proposed to estimate arterial stiffness (AS). We compared the relative value of the ambulatory AS index (AASI), and of the slope of pulse pressure (PP) according to mean BP (MBP) obtained from 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring, to the monitoring of the arrival time of Korotkoff sounds (QKD interval) in the prediction of cardiova...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
We hypothesized that 1 minus the slope of diastolic on systolic pressure during 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (ambulatory arterial stiffness index [AASI]) might reflect arterial stiffness. We compared AASI with established measures of arterial stiffness and studied its distribution in Chinese and European populations. We used 90207 SpaceLabs monitors and the SphygmoCor device to measure AASI, c...

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is becoming widely accepted as a clinically useful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, although it is not generally recognized for reimbursement in the United States. There are now six major prospective studies, all of which have shown that ABPM gives a better prediction of risk than conventional clinic measurement. A coro...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring.
End-organ damage associated with hypertension is more closely related to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. ABP measurements give better prediction of clinical outcome than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. The technique of ABP monitoring (ABPM) is specialised; validated monitors and appropriate quality control measures should be used....
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring.
IN this issue Pickering and Harshfield review the use of invasive and noninvasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ambulant humans. Their review is well balanced and comprehensive but is limited to the discussion of patients with hypertension. Although it is true that the Framingham Study, the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, and the insurance industry data all show the powerf...
