Does risk stratification using self-measured home blood pressure improve the prediction of first stroke compared to casual-screening blood pressure in a general population?
Self-measured home blood pressure provides stronger predictive power for first stroke than casual screening blood pressure when using the 2003 ESH-ESC risk stratification guidelines.
