Abstract:
Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular problem
globally with a particularly increasing burden in developing countries
like Ethiopia. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) is superior to office
blood pressure (OBP) measurement for diagnosing, prognosticating
and following treatment efficacy for hypertension. There is no available
data on ABPM control pattern in Ethiopians. This study will determine
the ABPM control patterns in Ethiopian hypertensive patients on
treatment.
