The Choice of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Device Matters: Differences between Three Commercial Monitors Used in Finnish General Practice

چکیده
The use of home measurement in the follow-up of antihypertensive treatment is rapidly increasing. Compared with office blood pressure (BP) measurement home blood pressure monitoring provides better reproducibility, freedom from white coat effect and observer bias [1,2]. Home BP measurement results correlate better to end organ damage than the office measurement and home BP control overcomes many limitations of the traditional office BP measurement and there are no reasons why it should not be adopted increasingly [1-4].

متن کاملHow Accurate Are Home Blood Pressure Devices in Use? A Cross-Sectional Study
BACKGROUND Out of office blood pressure measurements, using either home monitors or 24 hour ambulatory monitoring, is widely recommended for management of hypertension. Though validation protocols, meant to be used by manufacturers, exist for blood pressure monitors, there is scant data in the literature about the accuracy of home blood pressure monitors in actual clinical practice. We performe...
