Summary:In brief, although the study has some limitations, including the absence of data on adherence to medication regimes, ABPM is essential to evaluate the responses of, and to discriminate between, high-risk patients with masked and white-coat hypertension for whom intensive appropriate treatment is essential. However, additional studies are needed to support the widespread use of ABPM. The link between CV risk and the BP pattern over a 24-hour period requires further study. KCI Citation Count: 0
