Why the study?
The optimal nighttime home blood pressure measurement schedule for wrist blood pressure monitoring was unknown.
Does a clock-based nighttime BP measurement schedule provide more reliable values compared to a bedtime-based schedule in hypertensive patients using a wrist-type home monitor?
Does a clock-based nighttime BP measurement schedule provide more reliable values compared to a bedtime-based schedule in hypertensive patients using a wrist-type home monitor?
A clock-based schedule (2:00, 3:00, 4:00 a.m.) for wrist-type nocturnal home BP monitoring provides reliable values comparable to full-night averages, outperforming bedtime-based schedules.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clock-based nocturnal BP averages may be more reliable than bedtime-based in wrist monitors; leaves open effects on management or outcomes.
