Prognostic Value of Ambulatory and Home Blood Pressures Compared With Office Blood Pressure in the General Population
Background—Studies in hypertensive patients suggest that ambulatory blood pressure (BP) is prognostically superior to office BP. Much less information is available in the general population, however. Obtaining this information was the purpose of the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study. Methods and Results—Office, home, and 24-hour ambulatory BP values were obtained...
متن کاملPrognostic value of ambulatory blood pressure recordings in patients with treated hypertension.
BACKGROUND It is uncertain whether ambulatory blood-pressure measurements recorded for 24 hours in patients with treated hypertension predict cardiovascular events independently of blood-pressure measurements obtained in the physician's office and other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS We assessed the association between base-line ambulatory blood pressures in treated patients and subsequ...
متن کاملLetter regarding article by Sega et al, "Prognostic value of ambulatory and home blood pressures compared with office blood pressure in the general population".
“Prognostic Value of Ambulatory and Home Blood Pressures Compared With Office Blood Pressure in the General Population” To the Editor: We read with interest the paper by Sega et al regarding the prognostic value of ambulatory, home, and office blood pressure in the PAMELA population.1 However, we find that the main conclusions of the report may be driven by the lack of adjustment for confounder...
متن کاملPrognostic value of 48-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is common and contributes to high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. It is unknown which blood pressure (BP) better defines the influence on cardiovascular mortality. The purpose of our study was to analyze the relationship between various BP measurements, traditional risk factors, markers of asymptomatic atherosclerosis [left ventricul...
متن کاملClinical inquiries. How reliable are self-measured blood pressures taken at home?
■ EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER Self-measured blood pressures (SMBP) can be precise and accurate and, thus, reliably be used as an adjunct to office blood pressure measurements in selected clinical situations (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, extrapolation and limited trials). Clinicians using SMBP need to be aware of the difference in normal reference ranges, with pressures greater than 135/85 mm ...
