Integration of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in Hypertension Management

Home recording of blood pressure in the management of hypertension.

[Assessment of resistant hypertension with home blood pressure monitoring].

BACKGROUND ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is considered the gold standard for the diagnostic confirmation of resistant hypertension (RH). However, home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) has been considered an option, because of its lower cost and greater comfort.

Hypertension management in patients receiving hemodialysis: the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring.

A clinical practice grant from the American Nephrology Nurses'Association allowed for the purchase of 35 home BP monitors to study the us...
