[24-hour blood pressure rhythm: clinical and predictive value]
Abstract:
Clinical and predictive value of 24-hour blood pressure rhythm is reviewed. Insufficient nocturnal blood pressure lowering induces augmented pressure load on target organs. On the other hand it reflects dysregulatory changes due to target-organ involvement. Lack of adequate nocturnal blood pressure lowering is considered by some investigators as independent risk factor of target-organ damage. This dictates necessity of registration of parameters of 24-hour blood pressure profile in evaluation of patients with hypertension.

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
