Abstract:
Ambulatorybloodpressuremonitoring(ABPM)providesmoreextensiveclinical information than clinical casual blood pressure. It can effectively identify w hite coat hypertension and masked hypertension and is superior to clinical casual blood pressure in predicting stroke risk. Both daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressures are the independent predictors of stroke, and the predictive value of nighttime systolic blood pressure is higher. In addition, ABPM can also be used to evaluate the blood pressure response and control during the primary and secondary stroke prevention. This article review s the application of ABPM in stroke prevention.
