Vertical displacement of the arm relative to the heart causes inverse changes in blood pressure of approximately 0.8 mmHg for every centimetre change in arm position. Therefore a potential confounding issue in assessing diurnal variation in blood pressure during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is arm position during sleep. An increase in the number of patients with 'excessive' nocturnal dipping (> 20% decrease in night/day blood pressure) was observed following the creation of an instructional videotape in which patients were advised to muffle the noise of the monitor with a pillow at night. This raised the possibility that patients were placing their arm on top of the pillow reducing nocturnal blood pressure readings.
