Standardizing blood pressure phenotyping in acromegaly: A practical companion to Araujo-Castro et al.
Authors' conclusion
Structured follow-up using periodic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and validated home monitoring enables more precise phenotyping, optimizes treatment decisions, and improves comparability across future acromegaly cohorts.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Proposed standardized, risk-stratified approach using ambulatory and home BP monitoring to classify sustained, masked and nocturnal hypertension and guide antihypertensive de-escalation in relation to biochemical control
- Framework key timepoints: diagnosis, early post-therapy reassessment and long-term follow-up; emphasizes modality-specific diagnostic thresholds, dipping patterns and cardiovascular risk profiles
- Hypertension affects nearly half of patients with acromegaly
