Does the duration of ambulatory blood pressure measurement matter in diagnosing arterial hypertension in children?
Conclusions
Within certain limits, the results of our study suggest that 48-hour ABPM is more reliable than 24-hour ABPM, where especially the second 24 hours are a period of measurement that should be taken into consideration for this purpose. These results could impact the diagnostics of AH in children. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Home blood pressure in pregnancy–the upper reference limit
Conclusion:
In late pregnancy, the upper home blood pressure reference limit in a population of healthy women was 123/78 mmHg. This value questions the generally proposed level of 135/85 mmHg to define white coat hypertension in pregnancy. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Dry-weight reduction improves intradialytic hypertension only in patients with high predialytic blood pressure
Background
The aim of this study was to investigate whether additional volume reduction by ultrafiltration can improve blood pressure in patients with intradialytic hypertension (IDH) defined as at least 10 mmHg systolic blood pressure (SBP) rise during hemodialysis.
Patients and methods
This prospective, open-label, single-center study included 11 IDH patients with normal predialytic blood pressure (BP) (group A), 11 IDH patients with high predialytic BP (group B), and 18 patients without IDH as control. Serum angiotensin-II, aldosterone (ALD), angiotensin-converting enzyme, endothelin-1, nitric oxide, and asymmetric...

Prognostic value of average real variability of systolic blood pressure in elderly treated hypertensive patients
Conclusions:
In elderly treated hypertensive patients, high average real variability of 24-hour systolic blood pressure is associated with higher cardiovascular risk independently of other risk markers, average 24-hour systolic blood pressure and circadian blood pressure changes.

Comparison of routine and automated office blood pressure measurement
Conclusions
Misclassifications of patient blood pressure control status and the wide variability between routine blood pressure and automated office blood pressure support the wider clinical implementation of automated office blood pressure to improve standardization, minimize incorrect blood pressure measurement and avoid over-treatment.

The characteristics of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and its relationship with cardiovascular target organ damage in Chinese Han patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and hypertension
Conclusion:
In the Chinese Han population, patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension showed a remarkably high prevalence of non-dipper blood pressure patterns. Abnormal systolic blood pressure level and hyperglycemia were significantly associated with a non-dipper blood pressure pattern. Non-dipper blood pressure pattern, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia were closely related to left ventricular hypertrophy and carotid atherosclerosis. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Validation protocols for blood pressure measuring devices: the impact of the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol and the development of a Universal Standard
In the last three decades protocols for the validation of blood pressure measuring devices have been developed by the US Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, the British Hypertension Society, the German Hypertension League, the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on blood pressure Monitoring and the International Organization for Standardization. The European Society of Hypertension International Protocol required much smaller sample size than the other protocols, aiming to reduce the time, resources and cost of validation studies and thereby increase the number of validated devices. Given...

Validation of the Hingmed WBP-02A device for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol revision 2010
The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Hingmed WBP-02A device for ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring according to the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH-IP). Device evaluation was carried out in 33 patients. The mean age was 69.8±13.8 years, the mean systolic BP was 137.6±27.0 mmHg (range: 96–172), the mean diastolic BP was 86.7±20.1 mmHg (range: 48–124) and the mean arm circumference was 30.1±6.2 cm (range: 20–43). The protocol requirements were followed precisely. Four different cuffs, small, standard, large, and extra-large were used. The ...

Validation of finger blood pressure monitoring in children
Conclusion
Middle finger arterial measurements with waveform reconstruction provide an acceptable surrogate for invasive intra-arterial recording in children. Finger blood pressure monitoring is a novel comfortable, convenient and accurate alternative approach for noninvasive beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring in children.

Screening for hypertension: an elevated office blood pressure measurement is valuable, adding an automated one is even better
Conclusion
In a walk-in clinic, an elevated OBP is a useful screening tool due its ability to recognize nearly one in two patients as actually hypertensive. Adding an AOBP makes it possible to specify what course of action to take. This ultimately results in better targeting of patients for an ABPM referral. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)
