Factores que influyen en la diferencia de medida de presión arterial entre el método auscultatorio y el oscilométrico
2006
Fundamento y objetivo El metodo auscultatorio mediante esfigmomanometro de mercurio esta siendo sustituido por otros metodos de medida de presion arterial, de los que el mas utilizado es el oscilometrico. Se analiza las posibles discrepancias de medida entre ambos metodos y los factores que influyen en ellas. Material y metodo Se obtuvieron medidas de presion arterial (PA) mediante esfigmomanometro de mercurio, con un monitor Spacelabs, en el mismo brazo y mediante un metodo secuencial. La relacion entre ambas medidas se analizo mediante los coeficientes de correlacion de Pearson y el metodo de Bland y Altman. Se calcularon las diferencias entre ambos metodos de medida. Se analizo los facto…
Reproducibility of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children
1993
Impact of ESH and AAP hypertension guidelines for children and adolescents on office and ambulatory blood pressure-based classifications.
2019
The objective was to assess the differences between the 2016 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) hypertension (HTN) guidelines in the distribution of office blood pressure (BP) categories as well as in the office and ambulatory BP mismatches.The study included 4940 clinical evaluations performed in 2957 youth (5-18 years) of both sexes. BP and anthropometric parameters were measured following standard conditions. The classification of the BP measurements was normotension, high-normal, stages 1 and 2 HTN, following the criteria of both guidelines. In a subgroup of 2467 participants, 3941 office BP assessment was completed with 24-h ambulat…
Clinical Inertia in Poorly Controlled Elderly Hypertensive Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in Spanish Physicians to Ascertain Reasons for Not Inten…
2013
Clinical inertia, the failure of physicians to initiate or intensify therapy when indicated, is a major problem in the management of hypertension and may be more prevalent in elderly patients. Overcoming clinical inertia requires understanding its causes and evaluating certain factors, particularly those related to physicians.The objective of our study was to determine the rate of clinical inertia and the physician-reported reasons for it.An observational, cross-sectional, multi-center study was carried out in a primary care setting. We included 512 physicians, with a consecutive sampling of 1,499 hypertensive patients with clinical inertia.Clinical inertia was defined when physicians did n…
An update on hypertensive emergencies and urgencies
2015
Severe acute arterial hypertension is usually defined as 'hypertensive crisis', although 'hypertensive emergencies' or 'hypertensive urgencies', as suggested by the Joint National Committee and the European Society of Hypertension, have completely different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The prevalence and demographics of hypertensive emergencies and urgencies have changed over the last four decades, but hypertensive emergencies and urgencies are still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Different scientific societies have repeatedly produced up-to-date guidelines; however, the treatment of hypertensive emergencies and urgencies is still inappropriate, with potentia…

European Society of Hypertension recommendations for conventional, ambulatory and home blood pressure measurement
2003
IntroductionOver the past 20 years or so, the accuracy of the conventional Riva-Rocci/Korotkoff technique of blood pressure measurement has been questioned and efforts have been made to improve the technique with automated devices. In the same period, recognition of the phenomenon of white-coat hype
2021 European Society of Hypertension practice guidelines for office and out-of-office blood pressure measurement.
2021
High blood pressure (BP) is the leading modifiable risk factor for morbidity and mortality worldwide. The basis for diagnosing and managing hypertension is the measurement of BP, which is routinely used to initiate or rule out costly investigations and long-term therapeutic interventions. Inadequate measurement methodology or use of inaccurate BP measuring devices can lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment, or underdiagnosis and exposure to preventable cardiovascular disease (CVD).

European Society of Hypertension guidelines for blood pressure monitoring at home: a summary report of the second international consensus conference …
2008
This document summarizes the available evidence and provides recommendations on the use of home blood pressure monitoring in clinical practice and in research. It updates the previous recommendations on the same topic issued in year 2000. The main topics addressed include the methodology of home blood pressure monitoring, its diagnostic and therapeutic thresholds, its clinical applications in hypertension, with specific reference to special populations, and its applications in research. The final section deals with the problems related to the implementation of these recommendations in clinical practice. ispartof: Journal of Hypertension vol:26 issue:8 pages:1505-1530 ispartof: location:Neth…
