Key result
Telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring showed good agreement and were equally effective in assessing daytime blood pressure.
Why the study?
Few direct comparative studies have evaluated the effectiveness of telemedicine-guided home blood pressure compared to 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in assessing blood pressure and blood pressure control.
Does telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring provide comparable blood pressure assessment to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with and without chronic kidney disease?
Observational (n=57)
No
Does telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring provide comparable blood pressure assessment to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with and without chronic kidney disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 128% vs 129%
Telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring is equally effective as 24-hour ambulatory monitoring for assessing daytime blood pressure and is significantly preferred by patients.

May support telemedicine-guided HBPM as alternative for daytime BP assessment; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Galloo et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Arterial hypertension with and without chronic kidney disease (n=57). Telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring (tele-HBPM) vs. 24 h-ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was evaluated on Mean daytime systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) at first measurement period. Telemedicine-guided home blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring showed good agreement and were equally effective in assessing daytime blood pressure.
