- Original description
This will be a prospective observational study. The population would be pediatric patients 6 years to <19 years of age who were referred for elevated blood pressure to investigate if home blood pressure (HBP) can determine blood pressure phenotype (normotensive, hypertensive, masked hypertension, white coat hypertension) as accurately as ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) in childhood and adolescence.Read full original descriptionShow less
Office, Home, and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements in Pediatric Patients
This will be a prospective observational study. The population would be pediatric patients 6 years to <19 years of age who were referred for elevated blood pressure to investigate if home blood pressure (HBP) can determine blood pressure phenotype (normotensive, hypertensive, masked hypertension, white coat hypertension) as accurately as ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) in childhood and adolescence.

Exclusion: On antihypertension medications or treated in the last 6 months; Recent initiation of medications known to affect BP such as:; Corticosteroids; Calcineurin inhibitors; Oral decongestants; Structural heart disease such as:; Obstructive valvular disease; Coarctation of the aorta; Cardiomyopathy; Other secondary causes such as:; Renal artery stenosis; Neurological condition with dysautonomia; Pregnant.
