Continuous vs intermittent blood pressure measurements in estimating 24-hour average blood pressure.
In the past few years noninvasive automatic blood pressure (BP) recorders have been increasingly used to estimate patients' 24-hour BP more accurately than by one or few isolated measurements. However, these recorders only allow BP to be intermittently measured at intervals between 5 to 30 minutes, which means that the number of values collected over 24 hours (10 to 100) remains a tiny fraction...
متن کاملHome Blood Pressure Measurements Will Not Replace 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring.
According to Heródotos, during the month of August in the year 480 BC, a few hundred elite soldiers from Sparta, led by their king Leonida, fiercely fought at the pass of Thermopylae against an overwhelming Persian army led by Serse. Almost all of the Spartans died. The huge discrepancy between the 2 armies at the Thermopylae pass might resemble in some way the discrepancy in the number of outc...
متن کاملHome blood pressure measurements will or will not replace 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. To the Editor: I am pleased that the protagonists in this controversy largely negate the question posed in the title by agreeing that the techniques are complementary rather than one being an alternative for the ot...
متن کاملEffects of continuous positive airway pressure versus supplemental oxygen on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with recurrent episodes of nocturnal hypoxia and increased risk for development of systemic hypertension. Prior studies have been limited, however, in their ability to show reduction in blood pressure after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, and the effect of supplemental oxygen alone on blood pressure in OSA has not been evaluated. W...
متن کاملVariability of circadian blood pressure profile during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Evaluation of circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is an important element of ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Abnormal nocturnal fall in BP is more common in patients with secondary causes of hypertension and in the elderly. Cardiovascular risk is substantially increased in these patients. AIM Analysis of circadian BP profile in a population of treated hypertensives and identific...
