[Primary arterial hypertension. 24-hour recording or casual blood pressure measurement?].
In 134 patients with essential hypertension 24-hour blood pressure ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) as well as traditional blood pressure measurements (casual BP) were performed. Maximal and mean whole-day systolic and diastolic blood pressure values in ABPM were compared with casual BP (using test t). The casual BP was also compared with mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure values calculated separately in three eight-hours periods of day. Maximal BP values in ABPM were significantly higher and mean significantly lower than casual BP values. Blood pressure registered during work hours was closest to casual BP values. Blood pressure in the evening was similar to whole-day blood pressure mean. The results indicate, that automatic blood pressure monitoring performed in this period of day has the greatest diagnostic value because it could be free from "white coat hypertension" syndrome.
