Abstract

V originále

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has an important place in defining abnormal pattern of blood pressure. Clinical measurement of blood pressure will continue to be useful for screening and management of suspected and true hypertension, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides considerable added value towards accurate diagnosis and provision of the optimal care in uncompleted hypertension as well as for patients with moderate or severe cardiovascular risk. The cardiovascular risk is based on assessment of all major risk factors, age, sex, waist circumferences, BMI, family history, blood lipids, glucose metabolism, style of life (Guidelines 2007). In previous studies Halberg et al. (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) and Siegelova et al. (2006, 2011) have shown the differences in repeated ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, therefore we started with the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring lasting seven consecutive days. Johansson et al. in Finn-home study (2010) used the 7-day home blood pressure monitoring to demonstrate the prognostic significance of home BP and heart rate variability. Several studies indicate that home BP measurement offers better prognostic value than office BP. Results of our laboratory suggest the drawback of 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
