Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for Indian hypertensive patients-where we stand right now?
Hypertension remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with significant impacts on public health due to its role in cardiovascular disease and stroke. In India, hypertension prevalence is estimated at 35.5%, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. Traditional office blood pressure (OBP) measurements are widely used for screening, but they may not fully capture the variability and true patterns of BP. Out-of-office monitoring methods, particularly ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), provide a more precise and immediate assessment of BP, as endorsed by international guidelines. This article highlights the value of ABPM in identifying unique BP phenotypes and improving hypertension management, with a focus on its relevance and application within Indian healthcare settings.
