Arterial hypertension is the most common cardiovascular risk factor in the elderly. Its clinical control emphasises the problem of the systems used for monitoring: clinical measurement by the physician, home self-monitoring, ambulatory monitoring, etc. In particular, in the elderly population, the self-monitoring of blood pressure can present further problems associated with their situation. In our study we evaluated, in an elderly population, the differences in the self-recording of blood pressure with automatic and semi-automatic equipment using a mercury sphygmomanometer by a physician as a 'gold standard' control. We studied 28 elderly subjects using a rigid protocol for the self-measurement of their blood pressure. Our results show that automatic equipment is significantly more precise and easier to use than semiautomatic equipment in home self-measurement of blood pressure in elderly people.
动脉高血压是老年人中最常见的心血管危险因素。其临床控制强调了监测系统的问题：医生的临床测量、家庭自我监测、动态监测等。特别是在老年人群中，血压自我监测可能会出现与其自身状况相关的更多问题。在我们的研究中，我们在老年人群中评估了使用自动和半自动设备自我记录血压的差异，并将医生使用汞柱血压计测量作为“金标准”对照。我们使用严格的血压自我测量方案对28名老年受试者进行了研究。我们的结果表明，在老年人家庭血压自我测量中，自动设备比半自动设备明显更精确且更易于使用。
