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: 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 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.

Summary: The aim of this study was to provide prediction models for masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) detected by ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring in an Italian population. The study found that males, smokers, left ventricular hypertrophy, and high-normal clinic blood pressure are indicators of MUCH, and the models including these factors have good diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: ABPM is recommended for early detection of nocturnal hypertension in children at high risk, such as obesity or OSA. This study shows that concurrent use of ABPM during PSG can aid in early identification of nocturnal hypertension in this population.

Summary: Hypertension disorders during pregnancy range from mild to life-threatening. Office BP is currently the main method for diagnosis, but has limitations. ABPM plays a role in evaluating BP levels in pregnant women, particularly before 20 weeks and between 20-30 weeks, to classify HDP and detect high-risk women. It can also help identify masked chronic hypertension in women with office BP > 125/75 mmHg and assess long-term cardiovascular risk in women with PE.

Summary: The study found that baseline nighttime systolic blood pressure and its variability can predict the blood pressure response to renal denervation in patients with hypertension, which is helpful in identifying potential responders.

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 evaluated the impact of oscillometric measurement artefacts on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). The results showed that these artefacts can lead to incorrect classification of blood pressure values, and excluding them can improve the accuracy of monitoring.

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: This study analyzed the arterial hemodynamics of different hypertension subtypes using a new method. The results showed that isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) had a higher cardiac index compared to the normotensive controls, while isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and divergent systolic-diastolic hypertension (D-SDH) had lower total arterial compliance values. Additionally, D-SDH had the highest total peripheral resistance. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of arterial function for hypertension subtypes using a new method.

Summary: Home blood pressure control status defined using different thresholds can predict the control status of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in treated hypertension. When home blood pressure is controlled to less than 125/75 mm Hg, ambulatory blood pressure is well controlled.

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: This study aimed to investigate the impact of measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure with systematic bias and/or random error on the classification of high blood pressure in US adults. The study found that this measurement method may result in a significant proportion of misclassification of high blood pressure in US adults.

Summary: This study aims to determine the number of valid observation days needed to obtain reliable measurements of habitual physical activity levels. With a resampling-based approach, the research found that 6 or more valid days are needed for reliable measurements of light physical activity, while 8 and 10 valid days are required for sedentary time and moderate/vigorous activity, respectively.

Summary: This study examined the stability and variability of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) using data from two independent samples. The results showed that between-person variance accounted for a large proportion of the total variance in PSS scores, indicating that the PSS may primarily measure a stable perception of stress. However, within-person variance was also observed. These findings suggest that the PSS may have a more stable characteristic in assessing individuals' perception of stress.

Summary: This study explores a potential biomarker of PTSD risk, skin conductance (SC) measurement, in a medical trauma population. It found a significant positive association between SC reactivity to recalling the traumatic event and fear-related symptoms of PTSD at 1-month follow-up. These findings suggest that mobile SC reactivity measures may be useful for identifying individuals at risk for fear-related PTSD symptoms following a medical event and shed light on the potential mechanisms involved in their development.

Summary: This study examines the association between telemedicine visits and blood pressure control quality measure. The results indicate that increased telemedicine visit use is associated with poor blood pressure control. However, telemedicine visit use may not negatively impact blood pressure control when blood pressure is recorded.
