HYPERTENSION
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is recommended as the most accurate non-invasive method for the assessment of blood pressure (BP) and BP-related cardiovascular risk [The current ESH guidelines and the International Society of Hypertension recommend 2–3 cuff inflations every hour during ABPM [Previous investigations suggest that BP transiently rises during cuff inflation, particularly in hypertensive patients [In the present randomized crossover study, we compared ABPM using one measurement per hour for 24 h with current guideline recommendations of three measurements per hour during daytime and two per hour during nighttime.
