Why the study?
Does morning home blood pressure measurement compared to evening measurement improve the detection of masked hypertension in treated hypertensive patients?
Does morning home blood pressure measurement compared to evening measurement improve the detection of masked hypertension in treated hypertensive patients?
Relying solely on evening home blood pressure measurements underestimates the prevalence of masked hypertension compared to morning measurements in treated hypertensive patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Morning home BP may detect more masked hypertension than evening alone; leaves open optimal timing and outcome impact in treated patients.
Obara et al. (2008) studied this question.
