Abstract

V originále

Because the diagnosis of hypertension is generally based on casual measurement of blood pressure in general practitioner office and these values of blood pressure are higher than values of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, the table of blood pressure thresholds for definition of hypertension with different types of measurement is included in the Guidelines for Management of Hypertension (2007). According to this table the threshold for systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg in the office or clinic, 125–130 mmHg during 24 hours, 130–135 mmHg during day and 120 mmHg during night. The corresponding values for diastolic blood pressure are 90 mmHg in the office and clinic, 80 mmHg during 24 hours, 85 mmHg during day and 75 mmHg during night. The values for home measurement are the same as for ambulatory monitoring during day. The condition for reliability of diagnosis is low day-to-day variation of night-time and day-time pressure values.
