Clinical indications for ABPM in addition to HBPM

1. Increased home BPV and abnormal 24‐h BP patterns	Detected by determination of standard deviation, coefficient of variation, average real variability, morning‐evening difference, or peak home BP
2. Advanced target organ damage	Including left ventricular hypertrophy, advanced vascular disease, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, chronic kidney disease, cognitive dysfunction
3. Suspected masked hypertension	Nocturnal hypertension (related to obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes and/or chronic kidney disease) or daytime hypertension (related to stress or smoking habit)
4. Suspected white‐coat hypertension	To exclude the presence of persistent hypertension and avoid unnecessary treatment
5. Secondary hypertension	Related to other conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, renovascular hypertension, and primary aldosteronism
6. Monitoring antihypertensive therapy	Assessment of 24‐h BP control, and identification of treatment resistance
7. Drug‐resistant hypertension	Persistent hypertension despite treatment with three or more antihypertensive drugs
