Casual blood pressure measurement has provided the basis for the present knowledge of the potential risk associated with hypertension and has guided patient management for many years. The possibility of carrying out repeated ambulatory blood pressure measurements using automatic or semiautomatic devices allows for the gathering of more representative values of blood pressure and for observing the behavior of blood pressure during both moments of activity as well as rest. Ambulatory blood pressure measurement is now increasingly recognized as being indispensable to the diagnosis and management of hypertension, and it has contributed significantly to our understanding of hypertension. Likewise, the better relationship of ambulatory blood pressure measurements with the presence of organ damage and the prognosis to develop it have provided additional support to ambulatory blood pressure as a clinical valuable tool in the research, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure in children and adolescents.
