Abstract
Background: Twenty-four-hour (24-hr) ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is often considered the gold standard to detect hypertension. We aimed to determine the short-term progression of 24-hour blood pressure after coarctation repair and to compare ABPM between two different devices. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study using 24-hour ABPM (Oscar 2) in 47 patients aged 16-48 years with previous paediatric coarctation repair and not on antihypertensive medication. Results were compared to a previous ABPM using paired analyses. A subset (10/47, 21%) had an additional previous ABPM performed using a Spacelabs device. Results: After a mean follow-up of 27 ± 6 years after repair,..
