Role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in elderly hypertensive patients

Abstract: Background Arterial hypertension is facing some changes in the last years. Its prevalence is increasing in elderly subjects. This growing prevalence is due to longer survival of the population worldwide, among other factors. On the other hand, recent guidelines have insisted in the relevance of out of office blood pressure measurements, to improve diagnostic and management of hypertension. Therefore, elderly subjects with hypertension could benefit from out of office blood pressure measurements… Show more

“…41 Our results on the association of hearing loss at standard and high frequencies with the riser BP pattern among hypertensive individuals are also of potential importance because a riser pattern is associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment among patients with heart failure 42 ; also, this BP pattern is more common in older 43 and frail people 44 and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. 45 Our finding of an association between hearing loss at standard frequency and nighttime uncontrolled hypertension seems novel, and it is in concordance with our other findings on the association between hearing loss and nighttime BP.…”

“…In our study, age was associated with extent of nighttime SBP dipping, but was not associated with non-dipper or reverse dipper patterns. It is still controversial whether non-dipper is related to age itself or to factors such as sleep quality and arterial stiffness, which increase with aging [ 37 , 38 ].…”

“…Falls tend to be the main cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in the older adults ( 24 ), and remote fall monitoring allows the older adults to receive timely assistance ( 25 ). Remote monitoring can also be used to predict sudden hypertension in the older adults under special circumstances ( 26 , 27 ). And instructional alerts are immediately sent to physicians in case of emergencies ( 28 ).…”
