Validation of the AM5600 ambulatory blood pressure monitor in children and adolescents.
We measured ambulatory blood pressure using the AM5600 in children and adolescents participating in a research study to assess the relationship of blood pressure to risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Although the use of this monitor has been previously reported in adults, it has not been validated in pediatric patients. ⋯ The AM5600 ambulatory blood pressure device is valid for measurement of blood pressure in children and adolescents.
