简要总结

24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is superior to office blood pressure (BP) for assessing cardiovascular risk. On the other hand, repeated cuff inflations during ABPM can cause discomfort and reduced quality of sleep. A high frequency of measurement during ABPM might result in erroneously high BP measurement, incorrect hypertension diagnoses, unnecessary treatment or just overtreatment with antihypertensive medication and potentially serious side effects.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the frequency of measurements during ABPM impacts the measured BP during ABPM.

Patients will be recruited from the Clinic of Hypertension at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled crossover study. Participants will undergo two 24-hour ABPMs: One with a low frequency of measurement, 1-time per hour during the day and 1-time per hour during the night, and one with a high frequency, 3-times/hour during the day, and 2-times/hour at night. The primary endpoint will be the difference in 24-hour mean systolic BP between the high- and low frequency measurement ABPM.

详细描述

Aim:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if 24-hour ABPM with frequent BP measurements (intervals of 20 minutes during daytime and 30 minutes during nighttime) result in erroneously elevated BP in hypertensive patients compared with non-frequent BP readings (measurement intervals of 60 minutes both day and night).

Population:

The study population will comprise all patients referred to and attending the Clinic of Hypertension, AUH, who are scheduled to undergo ABPM. At referral to the Clinic of Hypertension, AUH, patients will be contacted with an electronic or analog letter, informing them about the study and inviting them to participate. Patients who already are being treated at the Clinic of Hypertension, will be invited at an appointment in the clinic. Patients will be excluded from the study if they have atrial fibrillation, nighttime work, insomnia or sleeping disorders, and are not physically able to undergo an ABPM (e.g. too big arm circumference to fit the cuff).

排除标准

  • Below 18 years of age
  • Have atrial fibrillation
  • Have routine nightshift work
  • Is pregnant
  • Is physically inable to have the cuff applied correctly (too large arm circumference)

结局指标

主要结局

The difference in mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 24-hour ABPM with frequent and non-frequent measurement intervals

时间窗: One week

The systolic blood pressure is one of the most important predictors of a patient's risk of cardiovascular disease that can be measured with ABPM.

次要结局

  • The difference in average real variability (ARV), dipping status and morning surge during frequent and non-frequent measurement ABPM.(One week)
  • The difference in mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 24-hour ABPM with frequent and non-frequent measurement intervals.(One week)
  • The self-reported pain/discomfort, interference in daily life, and disturbance of sleep during frequent and non-frequent measurement ABPM(One week)
