The Role of ABPM and HBPM in Diagnosing Blood Pressure Variability

Abstract

The following are some of the forms of blood pressure variability that can be encountered in the clinic: white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and morning surge hypertension. Many guidelines recommend the use of out of office blood pressure measurements to diagnose these conditions. We will discuss the role of out-of-office blood pressure measurement in detecting blood pressure variability.
