Ambulatory monitoring of blood pressure.
When ambulatory monitoring results differ from office values it is very likely that the ambulatory readings more accurately reflect patient status. Thus, a determination of 24-hour antihypertensive control and comparison of the efficacy of drug regimens can help to prevent undertreatment as well as overtreatment.
