Validation of the Beneware model ABP-021 ambulatory blood pressure monitor according to the revised 2010 European Society of hypertension international protocol
Conclusion These data show that the Beneware model ABP-021 monitor meets the requirements of the ESH-IP, in static conditions, indicating its suitability for measuring blood pressure in the general adult population. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Assessment of pupillary autonomic functions by dynamic pupillometry in different circadian arterial blood pressure patterns
Conclusion Nondipping in BP is associated with lower parasympathetic activity both in normotensive and in hypertensives cases. Furthermore, in the nondipper subgroup of hypertensive cases, there is higher sympathetic activity than the dipper subgroup. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Diagnostic precision of mentally estimated home blood pressure means
Conclusion Mentally calculating HBP means from paper charts can cause a number of diagnostic errors. Chart evaluation exceeding 30 s does not significantly improve accuracy. BP-measuring devices with modern analytical capacities could be useful to physicians. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Morning blood pressure surge is associated independently with orthostatic hypotension in hypertensive patients under treatment
Conclusion OH is a major problem in hypertensive patients. Increased MBPS, which can be detected easily by 24-h ambulatory BP monitor, predicts the occurrence of OH independently. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)
