Abstract
The utility of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) among patients with various forms of autonomic dysfunction (AD) is unknown. Twenty-four-hour ABPM among patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), AD without POTS, and control patients without AD were compared. Patients with AD without POTS had high rates of uncontrolled blood pressure (76%), whereas 19% of patients with POTS had uncontrolled blood pressure, suggesting ABPM may provide less value among patients with POTS.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension.
The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
