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...
متن کاملAmbulatory 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....
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring.
IN this issue Pickering and Harshfield review the use of invasive and noninvasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ambulant humans. Their review is well balanced and comprehensive but is limited to the discussion of patients with hypertension. Although it is true that the Framingham Study, the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, and the insurance industry data all show the powerf...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring and organ damage.
Several papers have suggested that 24-hour average blood pressure (BP) is superior to office BP in relation to hypertension target organ damage. This review article will specifically address the evidence provided in this regard by either cross-sectional or longitudinal studies. It will also critically discuss the available data supporting the concept that not only 24-hour average BP values, but...
متن کاملIs there a relationship between ambulatory intra-arterial blood pressure and left ventricular function?
The relationship between ambulatory intra-arterial blood pressure and left ventricular ejection fraction was examined in a group of 23 untreated hypertensive subjects who underwent concurrent radionuclide ventriculography. All patients had a normal ejection fraction at rest (range, 50-80%), and no significant correlation was found between blood pressure and resting ejection fraction. Sixty-one ...
