چکیده
A review of the literature shows that doctor-recorded measurement (DRM) of blood pressure is higher than patient-recorded measurement (PRM) by either home-recording or ambulatory measurement. The role of home-recording and ambulatory measurement as a means of supplementing doctor-recorded measurement is discussed. The results of two studies comparing home-recording with clinic and ambulatory blood pressure showed that home-recording of blood pressure did not lower blood pressure.
