The utility of ambulatory BP monitoring was assessed in
primagravidae to predict subsequent development of gestational
hypertension (GH) or pre-eclampsia (PE). 1100 women underwent
CABP monitoring between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. 6% developed
GH and 2% developed PE. Nocturnal diastolic and systolic blood
pressures were slightly higher in these two subgroups, but the
increase was small (2-4 mm Hg), too small to be useful as a
predictive test.
