Nighttime home blood pressure and the risk of hypertensive target organ damage.

Ambulatory versus home versus clinic blood pressure: the association with subclinical cerebrovascular diseases: the Ohasama Study.

The usefulness of ambulatory, home, and casual/clinic blood pressure measurements to predict subclinical cerebrovascular diseases (silent cerebrovascular lesions and carotid atherosclerosis) was compared in a general population. Data on ambulatory, home, and casual/clinic blood pressures and brain MRI to detect silent cerebrovascular lesions were obtained in 1007 subjects aged ≥55 years in a ge...

Ambulatory versus home versus clinic blood pressure.

Ambulatory Versus Home Versus Clinic Blood Pressure To the Editor: There is growing evidence that blood pressure (BP) monitoring and home BP monitoring are useful for predicting hypertensive target organ damage and the risk of cardioand cerebrovascular events. Ambulatory BP monitoring and home BP monitoring have been reported to be better predictors than clinic BP in many population studies. In...

Could the data of home blood pressure monitoring be used to evaluate the risk of subclinical target organ damage in hypertensive patients?

Relationships between new risk factors and circadian blood pressure variation in untreated subjects with essential hypertension.

Recently a growing amount of interest has been focused on new risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as insulin, leptin, homocysteine, and urinary albumin excretion (UAE). Furthermore, the absence of a nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decrease is emerging as an index for future target organ damage. In the present study we aimed to determine the relationship between these risk factors and ci...

[Home blood pressure measurement].

Hypertension, the leading global risk factor for early mortality, can not be detected or treated without accurate and practical methods of blood pressure (BP) measurement. Although home BP measurement enjoys considerable popularity among patients, the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension are still mostly based on office measurements. However, recent studies have shown that home BP is more st...
