Poor validation disclosure and extra large-cuff fees may hinder accurate home BP monitoring; leaves open effects on measurement uptake and control.

Structured PICO

P
Population
124 consecutive unique websites offering at least one automated home blood pressure monitor (AHBPM)
O
Outcome
Availability of validated AHBPM and correct cuff sizes
