Abstrakt:	Background: The 2022 American Heart Association (AHA) pediatric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) guidelines eliminated the prehypertension phenotype and blood pressure loads in ABPM interpretation criteria. Adolescents who were prehypertensive or unclassified according to the 2014 AHA pediatric ABPM guidelines will be reclassified as having hypertension or normotension. The epidemiology and association of reclassification phenotype with target organ damage (TOD) is not yet known. Methods: A single center retrospective review of adolescents ages 13-21 years old between 2015-2022 was performed. Adolescents diagnosed with prehypertension or unclassified by the 2014 AHA pediatric ABPM guidelines were reclassified by the 2022 definitions. Logistic regression models adjusted for body mass index z-score evaluated the association of reclassification phenotype with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Results: Among 88 adolescents with prehypertension, 68% (N = 60) were reclassified as hypertensive. The majority (58%, N = 35) of hypertensive reclassification was based on isolated nocturnal blood pressures ≥ 110/65 mmHg. Taller males were more likely to reclassify as hypertensive. Adolescents reclassified as hypertensive had a greater-than-six-fold increased odds of LVH in adjusted models [OR 6.4 95%CI 1.2-33.0, p = 0.027]. Of 40 adolescents with unclassified blood pressures, 37.5% (N = 15) reclassified to normotension. There were no significant clinical or demographic variables associated with reclassification category nor was there an association with LVH. Conclusions: The new ABPM guidelines effectively reclassify adolescents who were previously prehypertensive as normotensive or hypertensive based on risk of TOD. Further studies are needed to describe the long-term outcomes of ABPM phenotypes with the implementation of these guidelines.
