Summary: This study compared blood pressure variability (BPV) among different measurement methods and found that out-of-office BPV was higher than office BPV, with ambulatory BP monitoring giving the highest values. There was weak association among BPV indices assessed using different methods, but stronger agreement between out-of-office BPV indices in identifying individuals with high BPV. Older age was independently associated with increased office BPV, while older age, female sex, smoking, and overweight/obesity were determinants of increased out-of-office BPV. The study suggests that choosing the BPV index may be less important compared to the method of measurement, and office and out-of-office BP measurements can complement each other in assessing BPV.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the differences in blood pressure (BP) according to different BP measurement methods and assess hypertension phenotype. The results showed a large disparity between office BP and out-of-office BP, which became more pronounced when office BP was measured by auscultation. Therefore, it is recommended to use various BP measurement methods to accurately assess BP status.

Summary: The addition of home and 24-hour blood pressure to office blood pressure significantly improves the prediction of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, especially with the addition of home blood pressure. However, the quantitative improvement is modest, raising questions about the extended use of these methods in clinical practice.

Summary: This study evaluated the agreement between app-assisted home blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and found significant disagreement between the two methods. App-assisted home blood pressure monitoring had high sensitivity in diagnosing sustained and masked hypertension, and can be used as a complement to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Summary: This study compared the short-term and long-term reproducibilities of automated office blood pressure (AOBP), conventionally measured attended office blood pressure, and self-measured home blood pressure. The results showed that home blood pressure had higher reproducibility compared to in-office blood pressure, including AOBP. However, the correlations were modest for the 1-year interval, highlighting the importance of regular assessment of blood pressure for hypertension treatment, regardless of in-office or home measurements.

Summary: Sophisticated blood pressure measurements such as ambulatory blood pressure were found to be better independent predictors of incident atrial fibrillation compared to central blood pressure in an older population-based cohort. Office blood pressure, on the other hand, was inadequate for predicting atrial fibrillation in this study.

Summary: Adequate control of blood pressure is crucial for pregnant women with a history of eclampsia or pre-eclampsia to prevent complications. However, the importance of different methods of blood pressure measurements, such as office, home, and ambulatory measurements, in high-risk pregnancy is not well understood. This study compared the blood pressure values obtained from these three different methods in women with a history of eclampsia or pre-eclampsia. The findings suggest that ambulatory blood pressure measurements provide different values compared to office and home measurements, and the target blood pressure for ambulatory measurements in high-risk pregnancy hypertension should be determined based on the predictive value of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Summary: Current studies have shown a high incidence of masked hypertension in Asian countries, but the use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is limited. This study compared ABPM and office blood pressure (OBP) in primary care for a high-risk population of hypertension. The results showed that ABPM had a significantly higher positive rate in diagnosing hypertension compared to OBP. ABPM can effectively screen for masked hypertension and nocturnal hypertension in primary care, making it necessary for high-risk populations.

Summary: The study found that the association of strictly measured office blood pressure with asymptomatic ICAS was comparable to that of blood pressure measured at home, and circadian blood pressure variation based on ambulatory monitoring was positively associated with asymptomatic ICAS burden.

Summary: ABPM shows higher accuracy in determining hypertension prevalence and blood pressure control in kidney transplant recipients, while office BP has a higher rate of misclassification. These findings call for a broader use of ABPM in kidney transplant recipients.

Summary: This study shows that nighttime home blood pressure monitoring is feasible and closely associated with nighttime ambulatory blood pressure in children and adolescents, and similarly associated with preclinical organ damage.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of timing of fixed dose triple antihypertensive combinations on blood pressure control. The results showed that all patients had good blood pressure control regardless of the timing of drug administration. However, patients taking ARB-based triple antihypertensive pills in the morning had significantly less dipping pattern in blood pressure compared to other groups. Therefore, ARB-based drugs may be taken in the evening to ensure dipping physiology.

Summary: This study aims to explore the relationship between ambulatory blood pressure parameters and AF, and finds that reverse dippers are more likely to develop AF. During the follow-up period, ambulatory blood pressure parameters such as 24-hour systolic blood pressure, nighttime systolic blood pressure, and the presence of reverse dipping were independently associated with new-onset AF.

Summary: This study found a link between air pollution and blood pressure (BP), especially hypertension. Results also showed differences in BP measurement results obtained using different methods. For every 10 μg/m3 rise in sulfur dioxide (SO2) values, there was an increase in systolic BP and diastolic BP. However, SO2 and PM10 had no effect on home measurements.
