Effects of Western diet and lifestyle factors resulting in hypertension are known, however, the effects of lifestyle on blood pressure variability measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring are not sufficiently well known. In the present case, it has been observed that Western diet, sedentary behavior and mental load in a subject with normal blood pressures were associated with blood pres...

Achieving target levels of office and/or ambulatory blood pressure readings among treated hypertensive patients is an important aspect of cardiovascular disease prevention. Although office blood pressure measurement is simple and convenient, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is especially useful for identifying patients with 'white coat' hypertension, in whom falsely raised office blood pres...

mild (140 to 159/90 to 99 mmhg) or moderate (160 to 179/100 to 109 mmhg) chronic arterial hypertension does not appear to cause headache. whether moderate hypertension predisposes patients to headache at all remains controversial, but there is little evidence that it does. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with mild and moderate hypertension has shown no convincing relationship b...

OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and may even predict its development at an early stage. Increased pulse pressure is seen as a marker of increased arterial stiffness and can be readily measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. We propose another surrogate measure of arterial stiffness derived from ambulatory blood press...

This report examines the reliability of nighttime blood pressure dipping. Twenty-one individuals were studied twice with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. On one occasion they were studied as outpatients, and on the other as inpatients on a clinical research ward. Blood pressure monitoring revealed the expected dip in blood pressure at nighttime. However, there was little test-retest reliab...

This issue of Hypertension includes an article by Bur et al1 that focuses on the comparison between clinic and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) values in patients with moderate to severe hypertension. The primary goal of the Bur study was to obtain a classification of hypertensive patients, based on the ABP values corresponding to the clinic blood pressure (BP) values that have been used to stag...
