Expanding the use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for the diagnosis and management of patients with hypertension.
For patients with hypertension and their physicians who care for them, assessment of blood pressure (BP) over 24 hours with an automated monitor has considerable appeal. When done properly, ambulatory BP recordings yield far more reproducible values over fairly long periods of time compared with the doctor’s office BP.1 Because ambulatory BP monitoring yields multiple readings during all of a p...

متن کاملIs white coat hypertension innocent? Structure and function of the heart in the elderly.
To evaluate the morphological and functional characteristics of the heart in elderly patients with white coat hypertension, we performed an echocardiographic study in 67 elderly individuals older than 60 years: 17 patients with white coat hypertension, 34 patients with true hypertension, and 16 normotensive control subjects. White coat hypertension was defined as a mean 24-hour ambulatory systo...
متن کاملNoninvasive study of endothelial function in white coat hypertension.
Several studies have demonstrated that endothelial dysfunction is present in patients with essential hypertension. However, the presence of endothelial dysfunction in patients with white coat hypertension has not been studied. We evaluated the variation in the diameter of the brachial artery produced by flow-mediated dilation after a mechanical stimulus in patients with recently diagnosed mild ...
متن کاملVariability between current definitions of 'normal' ambulatory blood pressure. Implications in the assessment of white coat hypertension.
The assessment of white coat hypertension is complicated by the lack of generally agreed-on normal limits of ambulatory blood pressure. To assess the influence of four of these limits on the prevalence of white coat hypertension and the corresponding distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy, we performed 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiographic studies in 346 untre...
