High-quality AOBP readings and ABP measurements correlate equally well with LVM indices, further supporting the use of AOBP in the clinical setting. Moreover, readings from both techniques are comparable in the assessment of blood pressure.

The AOBP technique could replace mHBP monitoring in the assessment of morning BP, as it provides comparable data in relation to the awake ambulatory BP. Given the simplicity of this method, it could be more readily applied in a larger number of individuals.

In this study, microalbuminuria correlated similarly with high-quality AOBP and ABP readings, further supporting the use of AOBP in the clinical setting.

In untreated hypertensives, night-time BP assessed by home monitoring appears to be as good as night-time ambulatory monitoring in determining preclinical target organ damage.
