Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertension in Relation to Achieved Blood Pressure Using Automated Office Blood Pressure Measurement.
The SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) reported that some older, higher risk patients might benefit from a target systolic blood pressure (BP) of <120 versus <140 mm Hg. However, it is not yet known how the BP target and measurement methods used in SPRINT relate to cardiovascular outcomes in real-world practice. SPRINT used the automated office BP technique, which requires the ...
متن کاملOut-of-office blood pressure: from measurement to control
Hypertension is an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

In a recent study we measured observed automated blood pressure (nurse present), unobserved automated blood pressure (3 readings at 3-minute intervals after 5 minutes of rest), and ambul...
متن کاملComparison of Various Blood Pressure Measurement Techniques with Standard Office Based Blood Pressure Mesurement
Introduction: In order to control Hypertension, it is necessary to understand the methods of blood pressure measurement. Recent guidelines emphasize on employing appropriate blood pressure measurement techniques and white coat hypertension. Definition and methods of blood pressure measurement have changed in the American guideline based on SPRINT trial (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Tria...
متن کامل[Home blood pressure measurement and ambulatory blood pressure measurement versus office blood pressure measurement].
PURPOSE To compare both home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with office blood pressure measurement (OBP); and also to compare the correlation between HBPM and OBP with LVMI (left ventricular mass index). METHODS Protocol 1--68 hypertensive patients (58 +/- 12 years, 37 females): a) self recorded blood pressure at home in the 7 days; b) record...
