What are the appropriate home blood pressure criteria for diagnosing hypertension in pregnant women compared to standard clinical blood pressure?
Mikami et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Pregnancy (n=100). Home blood pressure measurement vs. Clinical blood pressure measurement was evaluated on Home blood pressure values equivalent to a clinical blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg. Home blood pressure values equivalent to a clinical blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg were 120.8/83.5, 126.0/85.2, and 136.3/89.3 mm Hg in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively.
