TL;DR
Children with IIH demonstrated a higher prevalence of ambulatory hypertension, predominantly driven by isolated nocturnal hypertension, despite similar office blood pressure measurements and the absence of overt cardiac target organ damage.
M Masked and particularly isolated nocturnal hypertension were highly prevalent, underscoring the importance of ABPM in this population, and PWV abnormalities were observed in children with ambulatory hypertension, suggesting that PWV changes are more closely related to blood pressure abnormalities than to the diagnosi...
ABPM improves the diagnostic classification of hypertension and reveals a high prevalence of discordant phenotypes and nocturnal blood pressure abnormalities, and wider use of ABPM may help optimize patient management in this setting.
Few studies have addressed the differences between hypertensive women and men regarding the diagnosis and control of blood pressure (BP). Accordingly, we aimed to assess the possible discrepancies in BP values between women and men who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The study population compris...
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to develop age- and height-specific reference ranges for blood pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure in healthy boys and to compare these to measurements in patients with Klinefelter syndrome followed longitudinally through childhood and adolescence. DESIGN Cohort study consi...
In young individuals asymptomatic HMOD is associated with both nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping, however, nighttime BP levels seem to have the primary contributing role.
It is highlighted that early cardiac remodeling was already present in asymptomatic children, emphasizing the need for early interventions, including weight management and lifestyle modifications, to reduce hypertension and future cardiovascular risk.
