Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in arterial hypertension

The latest guidelines from both the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) emphasize ambulatory 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) as a complementary and additive tool for the diagnosis and management of arterial hypertension. ABPM offers a comprehensive assessment of various blood pressure (BP) parameters, making it a crucial tool for clinicians. It enables them to develop tailored treatment strategies, improve BP control, and reduce cardiovascular risk. However, interpreting ABPM results can be challenging, especially for clinicians who are new to managing hypertensive patients. This comprehensive guide is designed to equip physicians with the necessary insights to effectively use ABPM in clinical practice, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes in hypertension management.
