Frequently asked questions
24-h blood pressure (ABPM) – percentiles and classification: What does this calculator compute?
Classifies the means of an ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure measurement (24 h, day, night; systolic and diastolic) into the Wühl 2002 reference percentiles by height or age, classified per AHA 2022 (under 13 years P95, from 13 years fixed limits 125/75, 130/80 and 110/65 mmHg) together with the office blood pressure as normal, white-coat, masked or ambulatory hypertension, and calculates the nocturnal blood pressure dip (dipping).
