Patients with T2DM are likely to benefit from routine OBP for assessing BP in T2DM is only modest.
80 / 2 40 The number you got in step 2 is average pulse pressure is 40. 42 + 38 80 Divide the total from step 1 by the number of times you took the measurement, in this case, twice. Non-dipping, nocturnal SHT may be a stronger predictor of end organ damage. You’d calculate your pulse pressure using the following steps: Add the two pulse pressures together. Prevalent in patients with T2DM with or without a known history of hypertension. The positive and negative predictive values were 74%Ĭonclusion: Non-dipping, reverse dipping, nocturnal SHT and masked phenomenon are highly The sensitivity and specificity of OBP for diagnosing HT or assessingīP control was 59% and 68% respectively. There was no association between other abnormal ABP patternsĪnd diabetic complications. With composite microvascular complications independent of daytime systolic BP control (adjusted Nocturnal SHT had a significant association 16(29%) demonstrated masked phenomenon,īut only three (7%) demonstrated white coat effect. Non-dipping and nocturnal systolic hypertension (SHT) were prevalent Results: 56 patients (mean age 67 ± 10 years, males 50%) completed assessment. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, eligible patients with T2DM underwent OBP and 24- hourĪBP measurements under standardized conditions and screening for diabetic complications. Objectives: To quantify abnormal ABP patterns and their associations with diabetic complications,Īnd to assess the reliability of office blood pressure (OBP) for assessing BP in T2DM. Background: Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring in type 2 diabetes (T2DM)
