Update: Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Children and Adolescents: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Open accessAbstract
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has established roles in the evaluation and management of hypertension in adults but has only been applied to children and adolescents more recently.1 In 2008, the American Heart Association (AHA) issued the first set of consensus recommendations for performance and interpretation of ABPM in pediatrics. Since then, ABPM has found increasing use in children and adolescents, as recently summarized.2 The present document updates the 2008 AHA statement on the use of ABPM in the pediatric population3 with additional data published since the release of that report and also presents a revised interpretation schema. Because no outcome studies are yet available relating ABPM levels in children to outcomes such as myocardial infarction or stroke, these guidelines are largely driven by expert opinion, although they are also informed by available pediatric data on ABPM and surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease. ### Epidemiology of Hypertension High blood pressure (BP) is the leading risk factor–related cause of death throughout the world, accounting for 12.8% of all deaths, including 51% of stroke deaths and 45% of coronary heart disease deaths.4 In the United States, 33.0% of adults >20 years of age have hypertension.5 As our population continues to age, this will only increase, because 90% of people with normal BP at age 55 years will go on to develop hypertension in their lifetimes.6 The prevalence of hypertension in youths is also on the rise. US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1963 to 2002 showed a 2.3% increase in prehypertension and a 1% increase in hypertension from 1988 to 1999, with higher rates in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans.7 In fact, the entire distribution of childhood BP has shifted upward in the United States by 1.4 mm Hg for systolic BP (SBP) and 3.3 …

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
