Office BP may underestimate control in treated hypertension; leaves open whether ABPM integration improves outcomes.
Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reveal different rates of blood pressure control compared to office-based measurement in treated hypertensive patients?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring demonstrates that actual hypertension control in primary care is significantly better than office-based measurements suggest, highlighting a high rate of office-based underestimation.
Banegas et al. (2006) studied this question.
