Dr. Akash Jain, Dr. Lalit Shrimali, Dr. Ramesh Patel
Abstract :
BACKGROUND - Microvascular and macrovascular complication in diabetes due to hypertension needs strict blood pressure control. Office Blood Pressure(BP) measurements may be regarded as a surrogate measure for the “true BP” of the patient. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a fully automated technique in which BP is recorded typically over 24 hours. AIM - To evaluate the role of ABPM for assessing the frequency of masked hypertension in diabetic patients and the presence of control blood pressure in diabetic patients on hypertensive medication. MATERIALS AND METHODS - A Prospective study on 90 in/out patients was conducted. OBSERVATION AND RESULTS – masked hypertension – 32.2%, antihypertensive medication need or adjustment of dose – 41%, non dipping-53.3% CONCLUSION – ABPM is a useful tool and superior to office BP reading in diabetic patients.
