• Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is recognized as a reference tool for accurately diagnosing hypertension. To clarify competencies and roles and standardize the processes related to the technique's implementation and proper management, experts of the Blood Pressure Monitoring Working Group of the Italian Society of Hypertension have drafted this document with the aim of providing a quick and easy reference guide for training healthcare professionals in the field. In this document the role of telemedicine and blood pressure telemonitoring in community pharmacies and general practitioners’ offices is also presented and discussed.

• In 591 hypertensive patients of the VASOTENS Registry followed-up for 4.2 years, ambulatory brachial and central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation  index (AIx) were obtained with a validated upper arm cuff-based pulse wave  analysis technology. A total of 104 events (24 fatal) were recorded. Advanced age , female sex, cardiovascular disease, increased 24-h central pulse pressure, PWV , or AIx were significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality.

• In 52,9911 subjects (46% male and 54% female) belonging to 860 Italian pharmacies, better blood pressure control was observed in women than men. However, women showed greater blood pressure variability, higher heart rate levels, and a higher prevalence of white-coat hypertension. A higher prevalence of masked hypertension was observed in men. What has been observed in this study may be useful to personalize the management of arterial hypertension between women and men.

• In 53. 350 subjects of various ages (between 3 and 101 years) referred to 866 Italian pharmacies, an increase in blood pressure variability was observed, an increased prevalence of nocturnal hypertension and masked hypertension, a reduced nocturnal blood pressure drop and an increased morning blood pressure surge with age. These changes in the ambulatory blood pressure profile with age may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. . Omboni S, Ballatore T, Rizzi F, Tomassini F, Campolo L, Panzeri E.
