case_images: Average of systolic and diastolic blood pressure values.. Notes: Blood pressure (BP) values are presented as the mean per day. Systolic BP is shown as a solid line. Diastolic BP is shown as a dashed line. The BP was not measured on day 19.

case_images: The average values of the patient's systolic and diastolic BPs are shown in Figure 1. Although the frequency of measuring his BP at home was 85.7% before the monitoring period (data not shown), it was increased to 96.4% afterward (Figure 1).
case_images: Comparison of average daytime and nighttime blood pressure during the monitoring periods.. Notes: Blood pressure (BP) values are presented as the mean +- standard deviation. The mean values for daytime and nighttime systolic BP were 131 mmHg and 137 mmHg, respectively, and diastolic BP was 78 mmHg.

case_images: The average nighttime systolic BP was higher than that of the daytime BP (Figure 2).
case_images: Blood pressure (BP) during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring periods.. Notes: Nighttime was defined as the actual sleep time based on the patient's diary. The mean daytime or nighttime BPs were 135/80 mmHg and 120/73 mmHg, respectively.

case_images: The BP values during ABPM are shown in Figure 3. "Nighttime" was defined as the patient's actual sleeping time, based on his diary. The mean daytime and nighttime BP were 135/80 mmHg and 120/73 mmHg, respectively.
