Table 3.
Classification of subjects to hypertensive and normotensive groups when applying the radial cut-point 136/82 mmHg in laboratory measurements: 311 (75.8%) of the subjects were classified similarly in ambulatory and laboratory recordings
| Normotensive (n = 76) | Hypertensive in ABP daytime only (n = 68) | Hypertensive in laboratory only (n = 31) | Hypertensive in both ABP daytime and laboratory (n = 235) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean systolic ABP daytime (mmHg) | 122 (7) | 138 (9)a | 127 (6)a,b | 147 (11)a,b,c |
| Mean diastolic ABP daytime (mmHg) | 77 (5) | 88 (6)a | 80 (3)a,b | 91 (8)a,b,c |
| Laboratory radial SBP mean(supine+upright) (mmHg) | 120 (10) | 127 (7)a | 139 (9)a,b | 150 (13)a,b,c |
| Laboratory radial DBP mean(supine+upright) (mmHg) | 71 (7) | 76 (4)a | 83 (5)a,b | 89 (9)a,b,c |
| Laboratory aortic SBP mean(supine+upright) (mmHg) | 107 (9) | 115 (7) | 125 (10)a,b | 136 (13)a,b,c |
| Laboratory aortic DBP mean(supine+upright) (mmHg) | 72 (7) | 77 (4) | 84 (5)a | 90 (9)a,b |
Laboratory values are calculated from the means of the last 3 min during the 5-min supine and the last 3 min during the 5-min head-up tilt recordings; mean (SD).
ABP, ambulatory blood pressure.
P < 0.05 versus normotensive.
P < 0.05 versus hypertensive in ABP.
P < 0.05 versus hypertensive in laboratory. When applying the aortic BP cutoff point 123/83 mmHg, 313 (76.3%) of the subjects were classified similarly in ambulatory and laboratory recordings.
