Discriminatory analysis of the data show that an abnormal ambulatory blood pressure pattern is more predictive of cardiac hypertrophy than blood pressure patterns found during exercise testing. Thus, extensive non-invasive evaluation of patients with borderline hypertension allows better assessment of the ...
