ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW One of the possible strategies for preventing hypertension is identifying high-risk people and then implementing lifestyle modifications or therapeutic interventions. Out-of-clinic blood pressure measurements, either home or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, may identify people with early blood pressure elevation or white-coat or masked hypertension and potentially help prevent hypertension. In this review, we will summarize the evidence on the role of out-of-clinic blood pressure measurements in preventing hypertension either from prehypertension or high normal or elevated blood pressure, or from white-coat or masked hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS:
Early blood pressure elevation, either termed as prehypertension or as high normal or elevated blood pressure, identified by home blood pressure monitoring was associated with a 3- to 5-fold risk of sustained hypertension. White-coat and masked hypertension, identified by either home or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, was associated with a 2- to 4-fold risk of sustained hypertension. Out-of-office blood pressure measurements may potentially help prevent hypertension. However, to prove reversibility, controlled clinical trials are required.Palavras-chave
