Heart Study

Several ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) phenotypes including masked hypertension are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Diabetes is associated with CVD risk as well as a higher prevalence of hypertension. However, little is known about whether ABPM phenotypes differ between individuals with versus without diabetes. We evaluated the association between diabetes and ABPM phenotypes including clinic hypertension, awake hypertension, sustained hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, non-dipping pattern, white coat hypertension, and masked hypertension in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Baseline data collection included two clinic blood pressure measurements using standardized protocols. ABPM measurements were taken in the 24 hours following the baseline visit. Diabetes was defined as fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c ≥6.5%, or use of diabetes medications. Of the 1,032 JHS participants with valid ABPM data (67.7% female, mean age 59.2 years), 253 (24.5%) had diabetes. The prevalence of clinic hypertension was similar for participants with and without diabetes (Table 1). After multivariable adjustment, diabetes was associated with an increased prevalence ratio of awake, sustained, and masked hypertension and a lower prevalence ratio of white coat hypertension compared with individuals without diabetes. In summary, there was an increased prevalence of adverse blood pressure phenotypes among individuals with versus those without diabetes that was not captured in the clinic setting alone. The role of ABPM for identifying high risk individuals with diabetes should be further investigated.

Background: White coat hypertension (WCH) is a common and well recognized phenomenon. It is also very prevalent amongst pregnant women and is often diagnosed as chronic/ gestational hypertension leading to unnecessary medications during pregnancy. ABPM is the gold standard for diagnosis of WCH. SBPM is an easy effective and reliable method to measure blood pressure but its efficacy needs to be tested and compared with ABPM in cases of WCH. It is important to compare the two methods in assessing WCH so SBPM can be utilized in cases of WCH, if found useful and efficacious.Methods: All pregnant women who presented to the ANC were screened for hypertension. Those who were diagnosed to be hypertensive in antenatal clinic and these patients were then admitted for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for 24 hours and SBPM on 6 hourly bases for 5 days.Results: The ABPM and SBPB readings were noted, tabulated and compared. It was found that the prevalence of ‘WCH’ in this study using ABPM and SBPM were 47.368% (27/54) and 45.614% (26/54) respectively.Conclusions: The results in diagnosing WCH using ABPM and SBPM were comparable.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of dipper and non-dipper blood pressure by using 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and to assess the correlation between target organ damage with white coat hypertension and real hypertension. Patients and method: Data from 60 hypertensives including 38 males and 22 females, ages from 25 to 75 yrs were analysed. The 24h ABPM made by German Tonoport’s were used for the measurement of blood pressure with the program 30 minutes per time and ECG and Echocardiography were used to assess the changes in left ventricular structure. Results: - White coat hypertensive group: The prevalence of dipper blood pressure was 43,75% and non-dipper was 56,25%.- real hypertensive group: The prevalence of dipper was 38,64% and non-dipper was 61,36%. There hadn’t the left ventricular hypertropy and lession of ocular fundus in patients who had white coat hypertension. Conclusions: By using the 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) we can detect the dipper and non-dipper phenomenon of blood pressure
