Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: What Is the Difference?
The gold standard to distinguish white coat high blood pressure, which is I have high blood pressure in the office, but my blood pressures are normal at home, is to use an ambulatory blood pressure monitor.

A good set of measurements is 40 to 50 measurements in a 24 hour period, both during the day and at night.
