- What are the expected responses for proportional blood pressure drops at night based on the daytime period?
- What are the expected responses for proportional blood pressure drops at night based on the daytime period?
Attenuated response (0–10% nocturnal decrease), normal response (10–20% nocturnal decrease), marked response (above 20% decrease), and reverse response (increase in blood pressure instead of expected nocturnal decrease).
- What does attenuated or reverse response indicate?
- What does attenuated or reverse response indicate?
Exacerbated sympathetic activity, which may be present in dysautonomia, and has been associated with increased mortality.
- What can ABPM indicate and select patients for?
- What can ABPM indicate and select patients for?
ABPM can indicate cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction abnormalities and is able to select patients for a deeper assessment of dysautonomia.
- What can ABPM be especially useful in detecting, usually not detected with the usual blood pressure measurements?
