Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Individuals with HIV: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Abnormal diurnal blood pressure (BP) rhythms may contribute to the high cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-positive (HIV+) individuals. To synthesize the current literature on ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in HIV+ individuals, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis were performed.
