Aim: Comparison of blood pressure values measured by two methods.
Material and method: 94 hypertensive patients (66 women and 28 men in relation to 2.36/1) were assessed classically and also by ABPM. For statistic evaluation we have used t - Student test, chi2 test, Pearson correlation coefficient and variation coefficient (cv%).
Results: It shows significant differences between mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure obtained by the 2 methods.
Conclusions: ABPM measured values are more accurate compared to clinic, bringing also information on pattern hypertensive therapy.
