Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: Is 24 hours necessary?
BACKGROUND The variability of blood pressure (BP) makes any single measurement a poor indicator of a patient's true BP. Multiple studies have confirmed the superiority of ambulatory BP measurements over clinic BP measurements in predicting cardiovascular risk; however, this method presents the problem of patient acceptance as it causes frequent arm discomfort and sleep disturbance. We hypothesi...
متن کاملComparison of 24 versus 12 hours of ambulatory ECG monitoring.
In order to assess the additional information obtained from 24 hours compared to 12 hours of ambulatory ECG (electrocardiogram) recording, we analyzed 72 ambulatory ECG monitoring tapes in which arrhythmias were present. In all cases the second 12 hours included the entire period of sleep. Only 38 of 233 (16 percent) episodes of arrhythmias, frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVC's), ...
متن کاملDiagnostic value and cost-benefit analysis of 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in primary care in Portugal
BACKGROUND Hypertensive patients (HTs) are usually attended in primary care (PC). We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy and cost-benefit ratio of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in all newly diagnosed hypertensive patients (HTs) attended in PC. METHODS In a cross-sectional study ABPM was recorded in all 336 never treated HTs (Office BP ≥140 and/or ≥ 90 mm Hg) that wer...
متن کاملProfile analysis of 24-hours measurements of blood pressure.
A method is proposed for classifying subjects according to their convex, flat, or concave change patterns of 24-hours blood pressure measurements. To obtain such a classification is useful for detecting subjects who show abnormal change patterns and giving them appropriate medical treatments. Therefore, an appropriate statistic is proposed for detecting a systematic change along the time axis, ...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
In recent years, many growth factors and cytokines have been shown to be related to arteriosclerosis, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been reported to be associated with hypertension. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between HGF and hypertension by measuring the serum HGF concentration and performing 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in 47 randomly se...
