Morning hypertension assessed by home or ambulatory monitoring: different aspects of the same phenomenon?
Despite their methodological differences, there seems to be considerable similarity between mHBP and mABP. Thus, both home and ambulatory BP monitoring appear to be interchangeable methods for the assessment of morning hypertension.
In patients with a small aortic annulus, who require a 21-mm valve, diameter-enhanced prostheses provide lower transvalvular gradients than conventional valves. However, in the intermediate clinical course, appropriate left ventricular remodeling occurred in all patients independent of the size and the type of the valve.
