The role of home BP monitoring: answers to 10 common questions.
This review examines what role home blood-pressure monitoring (HBPM) should take in the management of patients with hypertension. The answers to ten evidence-based questions, with reference to USPSTF recommendations, are used to provide insight. These questions include: Can HPBM be used to confirm a hypertension diagnosis? What are the diagnostic and treatment targets for HBPM? Does HBPM improve control of hypertension? Does HBPM help improve medication adherence? Does HBPM improve BP outcomes?
