简要总结
24 h blood pressure monitoring can help to define which is the optimal timing and frequency of measurements
详细描述
Hypertension is a common condition in modern society. As blood pressure fluctuates with time, a single blood pressure measurement is useless to diagnose hypertension. Nevertheless, a questionable not well-defined number of measurements still is often used for this purpose. Diagnosis and therapeutic control of hypertension are therefore suboptimal. This study's objective is to determine the number and timing of measurements needed to give a trustworthy approximation of an individual's average blood pressure. Therefore, 24 h ambulatory blood pressure measurements were retrospectively analyzed.

主要结局
Timing of measurement
时间窗: day 1
9:00-13:00 - 13:00-17:00 - 17:00 - 21:00: there intervals were analyzed to assess the predictive value of each interval compared with the overall daytime diagnosis of hypertension.
次要结局
- The correct number of measurements(day 1)
