Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in Renal Disease Patients

[IV Guideline for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. II Guideline for home blood pressure monitoring. IV ABPM/II HBPM].

Hypertension in young patients after renal transplantation: ambulatory blood pressure monitoring versus casual blood pressure.

The results of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children after kidney transplant were analyzed to ascertain any alteration in circadian BP profile, degree of hypertension, and efficacy of therapy. The data were also compared with casual BP data and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). We have examined 30 patients (17 male, 13 female), mean age 16.1+/-3.6 years after kidney transpla...

Impact on Hypertension Reclassification by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) according to the V Brazilian Guidelines on ABPM

BACKGROUND New recommendations on reference values for normal test results in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) were proposed by the V Brazilian Guidelines on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, based mainly on the IDACO study. OBJECTIVES This epidemiological study is aimed at evaluating the impact of adopting these new standards in an arterial hypertension referral center. METH...

Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is becoming widely accepted as a clinically useful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, although it is not generally recognized for reimbursement in the United States. There are now six major prospective studies, all of which have shown that ABPM gives a better prediction of risk than conventional clinic measurement. A coro...

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

End-organ damage associated with hypertension is more closely related to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. ABP measurements give better prediction of clinical outcome than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. The technique of ABP monitoring (ABPM) is specialised; validated monitors and appropriate quality control measures should be used....
