Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease which represents a major risk factor for damage of cardiovascular system.

Using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) we can improve the overall management of elderly patients at which the prevalence of arterial hypertension is particularly high. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) - cardiometabolic risk factors - diurnal index - chronopharmacological aspects - management of arterial hypertension.
