What does this research mean for the field?

Home blood pressure monitoring produces estimates of mean night-time blood pressure reductions comparable to ambulatory monitoring, and these reductions correlate significantly with improvements in left ventricular hypertrophy.

Why the study?

Does night-time home blood pressure monitoring provide comparable estimates of blood pressure reduction to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients?

Population

50 hypertensive patients from the Japan Morning Surge-Target Organ Protection study

Comparison

Night-time home blood pressure monitoring vs Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

6 months

Implication

Night-time home BP monitoring may serve as a feasible alternative to ambulatory; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.

Structured PICO

Does night-time home blood pressure monitoring provide comparable estimates of blood pressure reduction to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients?

Population

50 hypertensive patients from the Japan Morning Surge-Target Organ Protection study

Intervention

Night-time home blood pressure monitoring (three readings taken during sleeping hours at 2, 3, and 4 o'clock)

Comparator

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Outcome

Mean reduction in night-time blood pressure at 6 monthssurrogate

Home blood pressure monitoring provides comparable estimates of night-time blood pressure reductions to ambulatory monitoring and correlates with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.
