Abstract

To compare both home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with office blood pressure measurement (OBP); and also to compare the correlation between HBPM and OBP with LVMI (left ventricular mass index).Protocol 1--68 hypertensive patients (58 +/- 12 years, 37 females): a) self recorded blood pressure at home in the 7 days; b) recorded the ABPM during 24 hours; and c) the physician recorded blood pressure in the office. Protocol 2-41 hypertensive patients underwent the HBPM, OBP, and BI-dimensional echocardiogram.Protocol 1--OBP (153 +/- 24/96 +/- 13 mmHg) was higher (p 0.05, systolic and diastolic, respectively).This study showed that HBPM has a better correlation with LVMI than OBP.
