Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) offers advantages in clinical trials by reducing the white-coat effect and improving measurement reliability. These benefits stem from the increased number of readings obtained outside the clinic setting.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Conventional blood pressure measurements can be influenced by the 'white-coat effect', leading to potential inaccuracies.
  • Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an alternative method for assessing blood pressure outside of a clinical setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the application of ABPM in clinical drug trials.
  • To explore the phenomenon of white-coat hypertension.

Main Methods:

  • The articles review the theoretical advantages of ABPM.
  • Comparison of ABPM with conventional clinic measurements.

Main Results:

  • ABPM can eliminate the white-coat effect associated with clinic visits.
  • ABPM provides greater measurement reliability due to a larger number of readings.

Conclusions:

  • ABPM is a valuable tool for clinical drug trials.
  • Understanding and addressing white-coat hypertension is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
