摘要

Purpose of Review

To review the benefits of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and home blood pressure monitoring in children and to discuss implementation of guideline-recommended ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Recent Findings

Compared with office blood pressure, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and home blood pressure monitoring provide superior accuracy, reproducibility, and stronger associations with target organ damage although future work is needed to determine the utility of home blood pressure monitoring to predict hypertension status on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Summary

Due to the benefits of out-of-office blood pressure measurement, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has been recommended to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension in children and adolescents since publication of the 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guidelines on hypertension. However, access to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring remains limited to the subspecialty setting and novel care pathways are needed to improve guideline-concordant use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Nocturnal home blood pressure monitoring may be a practical alternative when ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is not available.
