Office, Home, and Ambulatory Blood Pressure
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Elevated Blood Pressure
In brief
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.
