Remler recordings show poor agreement with intraarterial BP; leaves open its reliability for assessing short-term variability in hypertension.
Does the Remler M2000 blood pressure recorder accurately measure blood pressure compared to intraarterial recordings in patients with essential hypertension?
The Remler M2000 provides readings comparable to standard indirect sphygmomanometry, but intraarterial recording remains the method of choice for accurate short-term and 24-hour blood pressure variation measurement.
