• A comparison of dilevalol and placebo in the management of isolated systolic hypertension using ambulatory monitoring [5].

High impact information on Monitoring, Ambulatory

• Serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels and ambulatory monitoring were repeated after 4 to 6 months of therapy [6].
• Ischemia during treadmill testing was more effectively suppressed by amlodipine, whereas ischemia during ambulatory monitoring was more effectively suppressed by atenolol [3].
• The frequency of anginal attacks was also reduced by both the continuous and intermittent treatment, but the effects on symptoms were not paralleled by a concomitant reduction in ischemic episodes recorded during ambulatory monitoring [7].
• Ambulatory monitoring revealed labetalol-treated patients to have significantly greater decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures during daily activity than prazosin-treated patients [8].
• Comparison of labetalol and prazosin in hypertensive patients using automated ambulatory monitoring [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Monitoring, Ambulatory

• Four patients complained of palpitations and angina after ingestion of nifedipine and were identified by ambulatory monitoring to have tachycardia and persistent S-T depression [9].
• Using the "Oxford system" for ambulatory monitoring of direct arterial blood pressure (BP), the hypotensive effect of enalapril (20 to 40 mg/day), was assessed in 15 patients with essential hypertension [10].
• Trimetazidine European Multicenter Study versus propranolol in stable angina pectoris: contribution of Holter electrocardiographic ambulatory monitoring [11].
• The relationship between myocardial ischemia detected by exercise thallium-201 scintigraphy and repetitive ventricular premature beats (VPBs) during ambulatory monitoring was evaluated in 57 patients with recent myocardial infarction [12].
• Antianginal efficacy was assessed by the number of episodes of angina and nitroglycerin tablets consumed during each 2-week period, as well as the number of episodes of ischemia during 48-hour ambulatory monitoring and the area and severity of ST-segment depression during 16-point precordial exercise mapping [13].

Biological context of Monitoring, Ambulatory

• Similarly, cimetidine produced no change in the incidence of ventricular ectopics or in heart rate on 24 h ambulatory monitoring and had no effect on left ventricular volume or contractility as measured by echocardiography [14].

Anatomical context of Monitoring, Ambulatory

• Anginal symptoms without ischemic electrocardiographic changes during ambulatory monitoring in men with coronary artery disease [15].
• Theophylline in oral mucosal transudate. A practical method for monitoring outpatient therapy [16].

Associations of Monitoring, Ambulatory with chemical compounds

• During ambulatory monitoring, the frequency of ischemic episodes decreased by 28% with amlodipine (p = 0.083 [NS]), by 57% with atenolol (p < 0.001) and by 72% with the combination (p < 0.05 vs. both single drugs; p < 0.001 vs. placebo) [3].
• Sustained release verapamil, a once daily preparation: objective evaluation using exercise testing, ambulatory monitoring and blood levels in patients with stable angina [17].
• At the end of each weekly period, ambulatory monitoring was repeated and showed reduction of episodes by 68% and 68% for IS-5-MN weeks and 56% and 60% for nifedipine weeks all P less than 0.05 vs. pretreatment [18].
• Furthermore, in the study comparing TMZ with propranolol, TMZ was shown to decrease ischaemic episodes recorded by ECG ambulatory monitoring [19].
• Ambulatory monitoring did not demonstrate a significant reduction in the amount of silent or total ischaemia following the addition of either nifedipine or nisoldipine to atenolol monotherapy [20].

Gene context of Monitoring, Ambulatory

• There was a positive correlation between sICAM-1 and TNF-alpha levels, but no correlation in HT between the average diastolic and systolic blood pressure (clinic and ambulatory monitoring) and the sICAM-1 or TNF-alpha levels was observed [21].
• The objective of this study was to compare mean values and reproducibility of PP obtained in the clinic (CPP), at home (HPP) and with ambulatory monitoring (APP) and to evaluate potential implications for trials aiming to assess drug effects on PP [22].
• RESULTS: Ambulatory monitoring showed that the awake SBP decreased by 3.6+/-1.9 mm Hg in the treated subjects who quit smoking (n=19), whereas in the control group (n=15) there was an increase of 1.7+/-2.4 mm Hg (P=.045) [23].
• BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to compare the reproducibility of blood pressure (BP) measured in the clinic (CBP), at home (HBP), and by ambulatory monitoring (ABP), and to assess its implications on the accuracy of antihypertensive drug trials [24].
• Ten consecutive patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy proven by echocardiography were subjected to detailed electrophysiologic evaluation and 24-hour ambulatory monitoring to detect the spectrum of arrhythmias and to identify their clinical correlates, if any [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Monitoring, Ambulatory

• These include treadmill exercise testing; radioisotope techniques, including ejection fraction studies, stress thallium scintigraphy, and tomographic imaging; and ambulatory monitoring [26].
• Antihypertensive effect of lisinopril assessed by 24-hour ambulatory monitoring: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study [27].
• METHODS: Baseline conventional, day-time ambulatory and self-measured home blood pressure measurements from the THOP trial were used to study the effect of gender, age, body mass index, smoking habits and treatment status on the white-coat syndrome as assessed by ambulatory monitoring or self-measurement [28].
