Abstract
A portable ambulatory device for the recording of sequential indirect arterial blood pressure [in humans] and continuous ECG (Del Mar Avionics automatic ambulatory blood pressure recording device) was evaluated. With careful attention to technique, only 11% of systolic and 5% of diastolic blood pressure readings differed by more than 10 mm Hg as compared with a trained technician''s observations simultaneously in the same arm. The device was useful in the evaluation of borderline (labile) hypertension, hypertensive drug therapy programs and various episodic cardiovascular phenomena: vasodepressor syncope and pheochromocytoma crises.
