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: ABPM is a useful tool for diagnosing and managing hypertension in CKD patients, with no specific barriers identified in this study. No demographic or disease characteristics were found to impact the likelihood of obtaining ABPM, suggesting a need for further patient and provider education for improvement.

Summary: Diagnosis and management of hypertension based solely on office blood pressure (BP) measurements may be inadequate as BP can significantly differ outside the office setting. Ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and home BP monitoring (HBPM) are validated approaches for out-of-office BP measurement. ABPM is recommended as the reference standard for out-of-office BP monitoring, while HBPM is suggested as an alternative approach when ABPM is not available or well tolerated.

Summary: Hypertension remains the leading modifiable risk factor for stroke, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease, and is a significant contributor to preventable deaths worldwide. Utilizing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can enhance the accurate diagnosis of hypertension and identify specific subtypes such as white coat hypertension and masked hypertension, as well as assess a patient's nocturnal blood pressure status. Familiarity with the use of ABPM is crucial for optimal management of patients with hypertension.

Summary: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has become the preferred method for assessing blood pressure and rational use of antihypertensive drugs. Studies have shown a closer association of cardiovascular complications with 24-hour and nighttime blood pressure compared to office blood pressure. Different types of hypertension, such as white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension, can be identified through a combination of ambulatory and office blood pressure thresholds. The focus should be on the levels of 24-hour and nighttime blood pressure, as additional blood pressure indexes derived from 24-hour monitoring recordings do not significantly add to risk stratification or hypertension management.

Summary: This study analyzed the association between home and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and cardiovascular risk in hypertensive outpatients, and found that both home blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure were independently associated with cardiovascular risk. Home blood pressure had a modest superiority to predict cardiovascular prognosis compared to ambulatory blood pressure.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnosis and target organ injury of hypertension using the 2022 American Heart Association (AHA) ambulatory blood pressure threshold compared to the 2014 AHA and 2016 ESH thresholds. The results showed that the 2022 AHA threshold diagnosed more cases of hypertension and identified more cases of hypertension-induced target organ injury than the previous thresholds.

Summary: Several outcome-based prospective investigations have shown the prognostic value of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in cardiovascular risk stratification. Average 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime blood pressures are essential components that improve risk assessment beyond traditional factors. However, the interpretation and clinical use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring need standardization, and implementing its results in individual patient management remains challenging.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the diagnoses obtained from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in a pediatric population using the new 2022 guidelines and the original 2014 guidelines. The results showed that the new guidelines led to a significant increase in the diagnoses of hypertension, with 70% of previous pre-hypertensive patients now meeting the criteria for hypertension. Logistic regression analysis revealed that prior patient data was not predictive of hypertension diagnosis from ABPM. The study also found that blood pressure variability was associated with increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI).

Summary: In this study, office systolic blood pressure showed weak association with stroke, central blood pressure was not significantly associated with stroke, but all ambulatory blood pressure variables (systolic and diastolic) were significantly linked to stroke. Additionally, ambulatory diastolic blood pressure was found to be a stronger predictor of stroke compared to ambulatory systolic blood pressure.

Summary: Using ambulatory blood pressure monitor data, the study suggests that isolated diastolic hypertension defined by 2017 ACC/AHA criteria is not a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adults aged 50 years or older but is a risk factor among younger adults. Age is an important consideration in the clinical management of adults with isolated diastolic hypertension.

Summary: Excessive salt and sodium intake are strongly associated with high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure is the main risk factor for global morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of this disease in the adult population of Costa Rica in 2018 was 37.2%. Costa Rica lacks information on the economic costs for the public health system and prevalence of diseases caused by dietary factors such as salt intake. The objective of this study was to estimate the economic benefits for the public health system related to salt reduction in Costa Rica for the year 2018.

Summary: This study analyzed ambulatory blood pressure measurements in children and adults who were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) prenatally. The results suggest that DEX treatment does not adversely affect blood pressure in individuals unaffected by congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
