Impact on hypertension reclassification by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) according to the V Brazilian Guidelines on ABPM

Abstract: The recommendations of the new guidelines had a great impact on the hypertension classification by ABPM test results in the study population. The question of thresholds of these tests for therapeutic targets of patients known to be hypertensive is still open and requires further studies, preferably national ones, for better definition of the subject.

“…We support that it is necessary to move from thresholds based on statistical evidence to outcome‐driven thresholds. Based on a 10‐year cardiovascular risk equivalent to the risk obtained with office blood pressure measurement, suggested thresholds for ABPM were 131/79 mmHg for 24‐hour, 138/86 mmHg for daytime, and 120/71 mmHg for nighttime blood pressure substantially supporting the current indications provided by ESH guidelines, that is, 130/80 mmHg for 24 hours, 135/85 mmHg for daytime, and 120/70 mmHg for nighttime (Table ).…”

“…The cost‐effectiveness of identifying white coat hypertension through ABPM is related to the fact that the cost of care for hypertension is largely dominated by the cost of cardiovascular complications occurring in the long term, and by the cost for drug treatment, rather than by the cost of doctors' visits and of diagnostic investigations. This is of importance in LA for the limited resources available for health care, which require a long‐term acceptable cost‐effectiveness ratio for any approach proposed for hypertension management . When assessing the cost‐effectiveness of ABPM, in particular in LA where its use is only allowed in large cities and in some countries, the potential of this technique not only to improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension, but also as a means of ensuring implementation of a more effective control of hypertension at community level should be taken into consideration (Box 2).…”

“…In another national study with a retrospective analysis of ABPM examinations, 5 the impact of the reclassification of BP control thresholds was evaluated according to the application of the last two Brazilian ABPM Guidelines. With the adoption of the current guidelines, all modified thresholds reclassified the exams significantly.…”

“…5 The authors observed that the new thresholds substantially reclassified hypertension, increasing the percentage of hypertensive patients, especially for the variable systolic BP during sleep. 5 When considering different thresholds for 24-hour borderline BP / hypertension and normal BP / borderline BP, and the reclassification of hypertensive patients in regard to their control, it was observed that the samples of patients in the studies were similar in regard to antihypertensive treatment.…”
