Clinical indications for ABPM

Recommendation	Class of recommendation	Level of evidence
1. ABPM is preferred to precisely diagnose white‐coat hypertension and masked hypertension in patients with high‐normal home BP (125‐134/75‐84 mm Hg)	IIa	B
2. For hypertensive patients with normal average home BP (home BP‐defined white‐coat hypotension or normotension), ABPM is recommended to reliably exclude masked hypertension, especially in patients with comorbidities	IIa	C
3. Evaluation of resistant hypertension in patients with persistently elevated office BP(≥130/80 mm Hg)despite treatment with ≥3 antihypertensive drugs	IIa	B

Abbreviations: ABPM, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; BP, blood pressure.
