Does home blood pressure measurement better predict long-term cardiovascular risk compared to clinic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with impaired glucose metabolism and diabetes?
Home blood pressure is a superior predictor of long-term cardiovascular risk compared to clinic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with impaired glucose metabolism.
The present findings suggest that long-term cardiovascular risk in IGM patients should be assessed based on home blood pressure, not on clinic blood pressure.
Noguchi et al. (2013) studied this question.
