Main Article Content
Abstract
Possibilities of diurnal blood pressure profile assessment with automatic blood pressure monitoring have been described in article. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring allows recognizing disorders of blood pressure profile and improves an identification of high cardiovascular risk patients. Detailed patients characteristic is useful in effective hypotensive therapy and reduction of cardiovascular risk.
