We conclude that ABPM is a useful method to assess salt sensitivity.

Non-dipping and nocturnal hypertension are commonly found during ABPM in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

A 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed for all recipients.

A subgroup of 46 persons who repeated ABPM in Winter and Summer was also studied.

Methods: The present analysis included all participants with good-quality ABPM recordings with reliable echocardiography at entry.

Results: ABPM confirmed the diagnosis of hypertension, but IR-High patients showed a reduced nighttime BP fall.

In the age stratified analysis, both CBPM and 24-hour ABPM showed increased prevalence of hypertension with age.

This pilot study evaluated the association between antihypertensive therapy adherence and 24 h-ABPM-derived parameters in hypertensive patients.

At equivalent once-daily dosage, AM was more effective than NTR in decreasing BP assessed by 24-h ABPM.

Results: ABPM showed an incremental increase in all BP parameters from nondiabetic control subjects through subjects with NA.

At the end of the placebo period and during the last week of treatment, patients underwent 24-h ABPM.

In this setting, AASI could represent an additional information derived from the 24 h-ABPM in hypertensive patient evaluation.

ABPM may be a more useful tool in optimizing treatment strategies to reduce cardio-vascular events in renal transplant recipients.

Intervention at an early age and monitoring by ABPM may facilitate therapy-induced LVH regression in overweight and obese hypertensive patients.

Conclusion: The estimated prevalence of hypertension by 24-hour ABPM was higher than that by CBPM, revealing high prevalence of masked hypertension.

Aim: To assess whether ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can similarly affect BP values during the initial hours of recording.
