title: [Specifics of using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the elderly].
abstract: Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease which represents a major risk factor for damage of cardiovascular system. Insufficient control of elevated blood pressure is associated with the development of target organ damage, in-creased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with a adverse prognostic value. Using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) we can improve the overall management of elderly patients at which the prevalence of arterial hypertension is particularly high.
