Home blood pressure monitoring can provide valuable information for physicians managing borderline hypertensive patients. This study was conducted to compare office and home blood pressures in 36 borderline hypertensive subjects, and to determine the accuracy of the home monitoring unit used. The patients were very willing to record their home blood pressures for an extended period of time. The home blood pressure monitors were found to be quite accurate, and blood pressures measured at home were significantly lower than readings obtained in the office. In 39% (14 of 36) of the subjects studied, the average home blood pressures were more than 10 mmHg lower than their office readings. These findings support the hypothesis that home blood pressure monitoring can be useful in the management of borderline hypertensive patients.
家庭血压监测可为管理临界高血压患者的医生提供有价值的信息。本研究旨在比较36名临界高血压受试者的诊室血压和家庭血压,并确定所使用的家庭监测设备的准确性。患者非常愿意长时间记录他们的家庭血压。结果发现家庭血压监测仪相当准确,在家中测量的血压明显低于在诊室测得的读数。在所研究的受试者中,39%(36人中的14人)的家庭平均血压比诊室读数低10 mmHg以上。这些发现支持了家庭血压监测对临界高血压患者管理有用的假设。
