HBPM-guided antihypertensive adjustment improves 24-h BP control in hemodialysis; extends RCT evidence beyond predialysis-based titration.
Does adjusting antihypertensive therapy based on home blood pressure monitoring improve blood pressure control in hypertensive patients on haemodialysis?
Adjusting antihypertensive therapy based on home blood pressure monitoring significantly improves interdialytic blood pressure control compared to using predialysis measurements in hemodialysis patients.
