Campbell et al. (2012) conducted an editorial in Hypertension. Ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring vs. Office blood pressure measurement was evaluated. Recent guidelines from the UK and Canada strongly recommend integrating ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring into the diagnosis of hypertension to improve accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
