Erratum to: Chapter 3 in: F.D. Fuchs, Essentials of Hypertension,https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-63272-8_3

1) The following text was removed from the last paragraph of Section 3.4.1.

The value proposed for systolic BP during sleep (100 mmHg) exceeds the expected 10% dipping of BP in relation to the value proposed for daily BP, and is rarely seen in ABP exams in the daily practice. Probably these values will be discussed by other scientific societies, but in general the values of the table are those expected for the diagnosis of hypertension with BP measured out of office.

2) The following values in table 3.2 were changed.

Daytime BP: ≥120/80 by ≥130/80 for both ABP and HBP

Nighttime BP: ≥100/65 by ≥110/65

24-h BP: ≥115/75 by 125/75
