[Practical consequences blood pressure variability].
Arterial pressure varies over the course of the day depending on activities. It increases frequently in the presence of the physician. Long term blood pressure recording makes available a multitude of measurements taken during usual activities of the patient. These measurements permit identification of hypertensive patients at high risk i.e. patients with high blood pressure not only when facing their physician.
