Increasing interest in ambulatory blood pressure measurement has resulted in the proliferation of non-invasive measurement systems. This paper discusses the problems associated with validation of these systems. There is an urgent requirement for a standardized protocol for validation of ambulatory systems which is practicable, universally applicable and which is acceptable to investigators, publishing houses and the manufacturing industry.
