Abstract
Despite the fact that the study and applicability of ambulatory blood pressure in children and pregnant women share characteristics which limit the potential development of knowledge for their use, advances produced in the last few years provided the present knowledge regarding the significance and the potential use of ambulatory blood pressure in children and in the pregnant women. In children ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is useful for the diagnosis of mild hypertensives, assessment of refractory hypertension, therapeutic trials with antihypertensive drugs, and clinical investigation when BP is one of the parameters to be taken into account and/or when subtle BP abnormalities are the objective of the study. In pregnant women, the main applicability is to assess the maternal and fetal risk in the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
