Why the study?
Does home BP measurement provide better prognostic accuracy than office BP measurement in elderly treated hypertensive patients?
Does home BP measurement provide better prognostic accuracy than office BP measurement in elderly treated hypertensive patients?
Home blood pressure measurement provides better prognostic accuracy than office measurement in elderly treated hypertensive patients, supporting its systematic use.
May support home BP for risk stratification in elderly hypertensives; leaves open whether adoption improves outcomes in trials.
Our findings suggest that home BP measurement has a better prognostic accuracy than office BP measurement. Blood pressure should systematically be measured at home in patients receiving treatment for hypertension.
