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.
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.
