There is at present little published evidence regarding the clinical utility of ABPM in the care of patients with established hypertension in this setting. We examined this issue by undertaking ABPM in a group of patients with established hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>40 patients (aged 33\u201360 years) currently being treated for hypertension were randomly selected from a general practice list and underwent a single 24-hour ABPM study. ABPM values were compared with clinic blood pressure (CBP) values obtained on the day of monitoring together with previous readings taken by the general practitioner (GP).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In the case of mean arterial pressure, 24-hour, awake and asleep ABPM values were found to underestimate CBP values by 14 mmHg (95% confidence interval 11\u201316 mmHg), 9 mmHg (95% Cl 6\u201312 mmHg) and 24 mmHg (95% Cl 21\u201327 mmHg), respectively. When used to classify blood pressure control, ABPM values produced equivalent results to CBP except by the criterion of BP load, for which 24-hour ABPM showed a higher rate of unsatisfactory control. 5 patients classified by CBP to have satisfactory BP control according to current international guidelines were found to have unsatisfactory BP control by ABPM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This study demonstrates the potential value of ABPM in patients with essential hypertension in a general practice setting. ABPM provided information over and above that obtained by CBP in a substantial proportion of patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/014107689809100604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,30]],"date-time":"2017-05-30T05:56:35Z","timestamp":1496123795000},"page":"301-304","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for hypertension in general practice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"R S","family":"Taylor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Science, Postgraduate Medical School, University of Exeter, Barrack Road, Exeter, Devon EX2 5DW"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Stockman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Thomas Medical Centre, Exeter, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Kernick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Thomas Medical Centre, Exeter, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Reinhold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Thomas Medical Centre, Exeter, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A C","family":"Shore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Science, Postgraduate Medical School, University of Exeter, Barrack Road, Exeter, Devon EX2 5DW"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J E","family":"Tooke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Science, Postgraduate Medical School, University of Exeter, Barrack Road, Exeter, Devon EX2 5DW"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.313.7054.404"},{"key":"bibr2-014107689809100604","first-page":"402","volume":"42","author":"Cox J.P.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Br J Gen Pract"},{"key":"bibr3-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.306.6883.983"},{"key":"bibr4-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1993.00410020010002"},{"key":"bibr5-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1988.03720020027031"},{"key":"bibr6-014107689809100604","first-page":"225","volume":"4","author":"Blum M.J.","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Gen Intern Med"},{"key":"bibr7-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004872-199609002-00013"},{"key":"bibr8-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/6.6.220S"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr9-014107689809100604","first-page":"29","volume":"7","author":"Conway J.","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Hypertens"},{"key":"bibr10-014107689809100604","volume-title":"Sample Size Tables for Clinical Studies","author":"Machin D.","year":"1997","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr11-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(89)91083-7"},{"key":"bibr12-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004872-199311000-00016"},{"key":"bibr13-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(95)91748-9"},{"key":"bibr14-014107689809100604","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0300-2977(94)00057-G"},{"key":"bibr15-014107689809100604","volume-title":"Statistical Methods in Medical Research","author":"Armitage P.","year":"1994","edition":"3"}],"container-title":["Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014107689809100604","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014107689809100604","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T05:39:29Z","timestamp":1777527569000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/014107689809100604"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1998,6]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1998,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/014107689809100604"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/014107689809100604","relation":{},"ISSN":["0141-0768","1758-1095"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0141-0768","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1095","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1998,6]]}}}
