Abstract
The most recent Global Burden of Disease report identified hypertension as the leading cause of death and disability worldwide (Bromfield and Muntner, 2013). Data from the Egyptian National Hypertension Project (NHP) conducted in 2012 showed that hypertension is common among Egyptians with a high prevalence 31.2% (Gadallah et al., 2018).
Hypertension was found to be well controlled by out–of office measurements either by home or 24–h ABP measurements in addition to their role in recognizing WCHT, MH, borderline hypertension and refractory hypertension (Chadachan et al., 2018). Thus 24–h ABPM was considered as a strong predictor of CV morbidity and mortality than office (Baguet, 2012).
Recent evidences suggested that CBP is more strongly correlated with TOD than Br BP (Fouad et al., 2019; Scolletta et al., 2019) and responds differently to certain drugs (Williams et al., 2006), so there was a substantial need for precise comparison between central and 24–h ABP measurements in prediction of TOD.
Our study was carried out on 214 hypertensive patients selected from subjects attending the cardiology department of Suez canal university hospital and the canal company for electricity distribution outpatient clinic in Ismailia for checkup or hypertension medical control.
