Abstract:
:During the past decade, ambulatory monitoring of the blood pressure has become an important tool for evaluating the pharmacodynamics and clinical efficacy of antihypertensive drugs during development. Furthermore, this methodology aids physicians in practice in the assessment of blood pressure control in many subsets of patients with hypertension.
