Abstract
Given the increased risk of cardiovascular events associated with resistant hypertension, predictive cardiovascular prognosis is extremely important. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is mandatory for resistant hypertension diagnosis, but its use for prognosis is scarce. This observational longitudinal study included 258 patients (mean age of 60.4 ± 11.2 years; 61.2% male), who underwent 24 h ABPM in a hypertension unit from 1999 to 2019. The outcomes were global cardiovascular events (cerebrovascular, coronary, and other cardiovascular events). The mean follow-up period was 6.0 ± 5.0 years. Sixty-eight cardiovascular events (61 nonfatal) were recorded. Patients who experienced cardiovascular events were generally older, with higher rates of chronic kidney disease and prior cardiovascular events. The 24 h systolic blood pressure (hazard ratio 1.44; 95% CI 1.10-1.88), night systolic blood pressure (1.35; 95% CI 1.01-1.80), and 24 h pulse pressure (2.07; 95% CI 1.17-3.67) were independent predictors of global cardiovascular events. Multivariate Cox analysis revealed a higher risk of future cardiovascular events, particularly in patients with a 24 h daytime and nighttime pulse pressure > 60 mm Hg with respective hazard ratios of 1.95; 95% CI 1.01-3.45; 2.15; 95% CI 1.21-3.83 and 2.07; 95% CI 1.17-3.67. In conclusion, APBM is a fundamental tool not only for the diagnosis of resistant hypertension, but also for predicting future cardiovascular events.

Conventional office blood pressure measurements and unattended automated office blood pressure compared with home self-measurement and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Blood Press Monit 2023; 28:59-66.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether automated office blood pressure (BP) (AOBP) measurement is a better method for measuring BP in the office than conventional techniques and an alternative to out-of-office BP measurements: home-self BP (HSBP) or ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of 74 patients and compared AOBP with the conventional technique using a mercury sphygmomanometer and with both out-to-office BP measurements: HSBP of 7 days (three measurements in the morning, afternoon, and night) and daytime ABPM. In addition, we compared BP values obtained using HSBP and ABPM to determine their level of agreement. We used ANOVA to compare means, Bland-Altman, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for concordance. RESULTS BP values obtained by the two office methods were similar: conventional 147.2/85.0 mmHg and AOBP 146.0/85.5 mmHg ( P > 0.05) with good agreement (ICC 0.85). The mean SBP differences between AOBP and HSBP ( P < 0.001) and between AOBP and ABPM ( P < 0.001) were 8.6/13.0 mmHg with limits of agreement of -21.2 to 38.5 and -18.4 to 44.3 mmHg, respectively. The average SBP values obtained by HSBP were 4.3 mmHg higher than those obtained by ABPM ( P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our study showed good agreement and concordance between the two office methods as well between the two out-to-office methods, although there was a significant difference in the mean SBP between the HSBP and ABPM. Moreover, AOBP was not comparable to either HSBP or ABPM; therefore, the estimation of out-to-office BP using AOBP is not supported.

Abstract
Currently, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) is the gold standard for diagnosing hypertension (HTN) and evaluating the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy. The method provides information about some BP parameters that cannot be obtained in any other way. ABPM is reasonable in any patient with a documented increase in BP, especially if specific BP phenotypes are suspected: white coat HTN and masked HTN. Antihypertensive therapy under the ABPM, on average, is more economical and is not associated with overprescribing of drugs and their combinations. Based on the ABPM data, calculating a number of additional indicators of the 24-hour BP profile is possible, but their scope is still limited to the research field. In the conclusion on ABPM data, the results of office BP measurement and antihypertensive therapy should be indicated.

Abstract
ObjectivesStudies of the diagnosis of hypertension have emphasized long-term cost-effectiveness analysis, but the patient experience and costs of blood pressure monitoring methods at the diagnosis stage remain unclear. We studied four diagnostic methods: a new 1 h-automated office blood pressure (BP) monitoring, office BP measurement, home BP monitoring, and awake-ambulatory BP monitoring.MethodsWe carried out a comparative effectiveness study of four methods of diagnosing hypertension in 500 participants with a clinical suspicion of hypertension from three primary healthcare (PHC) centers in Barcelona city (Spain). We evaluated the time required and the intrinsic and extrinsic costs of the four methods. The cost-accuracy ratio was calculated and differences between methods were assessed using ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) post-hoc test. Patient experience data were transformed using Rasch analysis and re-scaled from 0 to 10.ResultsOffice BP measurement was the most expensive method (€156.82, 95% CI: 156.18–157.46) and 1 h-automated BP measurement the cheapest (€85.91, 95% CI: 85.59–86.23). 1 h-automated BP measurement had the best cost-accuracy ratio (€ 1.19) and office BP measurement the worst (€ 2.34). Home BP monitoring (8.01, 95% CI: 7.70–8.22), and 1 h-automated BP measurement (7.99, 95% CI: 7.80–8.18) had the greatest patient approval: 66.94% of participants would recommend 1 h-automated BP measurement as the first or second option.ConclusionThe relationship between the cost-accuracy ratio and the patient experience suggests physicians could use the new 1 h-automated BP measurement as the first option and awake-ambulatory BP monitoring in complicated cases and cease diagnosing hypertension using office BP measurement.

Abstract
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two of the leading lifestyle diseases in the Indian and South Asian populations that often co-exist due to overlapping pathophysiological factors. Obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress are thought to be some common pathways. Up to 50% of hypertensive cases in India are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which defines the need for a comprehensive guideline for managing hypertension in diabetic patients. These RSSDI guidelines have been formulated based on consultation with expert endocrinologists in India and Southeast Asia, acknowledging the needs of the Indian population. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and office and home-based blood pressure (BP) monitoring are recommended for the early analysis of risks. Cardiovascular risks, end-organ damage, and renal disorders are the primary complications associated with diabetic hypertension that needs to be managed with the help of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. The non-pharmacological interventions include the nutrition education of the patient to reduce the intake of salt, sodium, and trans fats and increase the consumption of nuts, fresh fruits, vegetables, and potassium-rich foods. It is also recommended to initiate 50 to 60 min of exercise three to four times a week since physical activity has shown to be more beneficial for hypertension control in Indian patients than dietary modulation. For the pharmacological management of hypertension in patients with T2DM, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are recommended as the first line of therapy, demonstrating their superiority over other antihypertensive agents such as ACEi. However, most of the global hypertension guidelines recommend initiation with combination therapy to achieve better BP control in most patients and to reduce the risk of adverse events. For combination therapy, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are recommended to be administered along with ARBs instead of beta-blockers or diuretics to avoid the risk of cardiovascular events and hyperglycaemia. Among the CCBs, novel molecules (e.g. cilnidipine) are recommended in combination with ARBs for better cardiovascular and reno-protection in diabetic hypertensive patients.

Evaluation of a Digital Self-management Platform for Patients With Chronic Illness in Primary Care: Qualitative Study of Stakeholders' Perspectives. JMIR Form Res 2022; 6:e38424. [PMID: 35921145 PMCID: PMC9386583 DOI: 10.2196/38424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Population aging and multimorbidity has led to increasing chronic care needs associated with new challenges in managing growing costs, rising health care professional workloads, and the adoption of rigorous guidelines. These issues could all benefit from greater digitalization and a more patient-centered approach to chronic care, a situation brought to the fore by the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known about real-life use in primary care. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the views, thoughts, usability, and experiences concerning a recently introduced digital self-care platform for chronic conditions in 3 Dutch primary care practices. METHODS We conducted an explorative study combining questionnaires and interviews among patients and general practitioners from 3 general practices that used the digital platform. Questionnaires were sent to patients in each practice to seek the views and experiences of both patient nonusers (n=20) and patient users (n=58) of the platform, together with standardized questionnaires about illness perception and quality of life. In addition, patients (n=15) and general practitioners (n=4) who used the platform took part in semistructured interviews. We transcribed interviews verbatim and performed qualitative content analysis using a deductive approach. The results of the questionnaires were analyzed with descriptive analysis. RESULTS Among patients who had not actively used the platform but had received an explanation, only 35% (7/20) would recommend its use due to concerns over communication and handling. However, this percentage increased to 76.3% (45/59) among the people who actively used the platform. Interviews with patients and general practitioners who used the platform uncovered several key benefits, including reduced time requirements, reduced workload, improved care quality, and improved accessibility due to the greater patient-centeredness and use of different communication tools. In addition, the self-management tool led to greater patient autonomy and empowerment. Although users considered the platform feasible, usable, and easy to use, some technical issues remained and some patients expressed concerns about the reduction in human contact and feedback. CONCLUSIONS The overall experience and usability of the platform was good. Support for the online self-management platform for chronic care increased when patients actively used the tool and could experience or identify important advantages. However, patients still noted several areas for improvement that need to be tackled in future iterations. To ensure benefit in the wider population, we must also evaluate this platform in cohorts with lower digital and health literacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of the KANG KC-2850 ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) for clinical blood pressure (BP) measurement according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/European Society of Hypertension/International Organization for Standardization (AAMI/ESH/ISO) universal standard (ISO 81060-2:2018). METHODS BP was sequentially measured and compared with a standard mercury sphygmomanometer in 85 eligible participants. A standard adult cuff (22-3232 cm) was used for test device measurements. A total of 255 comparison pairs were obtained and analyzed according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/European Society of Hypertension/International Organization for Standardization (AAMI/ESH/ISO universal standard. RESULTS The standard requirements were followed precisely. For the validation Criterion 1, the mean ± SD of the differences between the test device and reference BP readings was -1.12 ± 5.01 and -0.33 ± 4.52 mmHg for SBP and DBP, respectively. For Criterion 2, the SD of the averaged BP differences between the test device and reference BP per subject was 3.59 and 3.60 mmHg for SBP and DBP, respectively. CONCLUSION The KANG KC-2850 ABPM met all the requirements for validation by the AAMI/ESH/ISO universal standard and can be recommended for clinical use in general population.

Abstract
The present study compared the blood pressure variability (BPV) among office (OBP), home (HBP), and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measurements and assessed their determinants, as well as their agreement in identifying individuals with high BPV. Individuals attending a hypertension clinic had OBP measurements (2-3 visits) and underwent HBP monitoring (3-7 days, duplicate morning and evening measurements) and ABP monitoring (24 h, 20-min intervals). BPV was quantified using the standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and variability independent of the mean (VIM) using all BP readings obtained by each method. A total of 626 participants were analyzed (age 52.8 ± 12.0 years, 57.7% males, 33.1% treated). Systolic BPV was usually higher than diastolic BPV, and out-of-office BPV was higher than office BPV, with ambulatory BPV giving the highest values. BPV was higher in women than men, yet it was not different between untreated and treated individuals. Associations among BPV indices assessed using different measurement methods were weak (r 0.1-0.3) but were stronger between out-of-office BPV indices. The agreement between methods in detecting individuals with high BPV was low (30-40%) but was higher between out-of-office BPV indices. Older age was an independent determinant of increased OBP variability. Older age, female sex, smoking, and overweight/obesity were determinants of increased out-of-office BPV. These data suggest that BPV differs with different BP measurement methods, reflecting different pathophysiological phenomena, whereas the selection of the BPV index is less important. Office and out-of-office BP measurements appear to be complementary methods in assessing BPV.

Abstract
Background Acute high altitude (HA) exposure elicits blood pressure (BP) responses in most subjects, and some of them suffer from acute mountain sickness (AMS). However, a 24-h ambulatory BP (ABP) change and the correlation with the occurrence of AMS in different sexes are still unclear. Objectives This prospective study aimed to investigate HA induced BP responses in males and females and the relationship between AMS and 24-h ABP. Methods Forty-six subjects were matched according to demographic parameters by propensity score matching with a ratio of 1:1. All the subjects were monitored by a 24-h ABP device; the measurement was one period of 24 h BP. 2018 Lake Louise questionnaire was used to evaluate AMS. Results Both the incidence of AMS (14 [60.9%] vs. 5 [21.7%], P = 0.007) and headache (18 [78.3%] vs. 8 [34.8%], P = 0.003) were higher in females than in males. All subjects showed an elevated BP in the early morning [morning systolic BP (SBP), 114.72 ± 13.57 vs. 120.67 ± 11.10, P = 0.013]. The elevation of morning SBP variation was more significant in females than in males (11.95 ± 13.19 vs. −0.05 ± 14.49, P = 0.005), and a higher morning BP surge increase (4.69 ± 18.09 vs. −9.66 ± 16.96, P = 0.005) was observed after acute HA exposure in the female group. The increase of morning SBP was associated with AMS occurrence (R = 0.662, P < 0.001) and AMS score (R = 0.664, P = 0.001). Among the AMS symptoms, we further revealed that the incidence (R = 0.786, P < 0.001) and the severity of headache (R = 0.864, P < 0.001) are closely correlated to morning SBP. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that females are more likely to suffer from AMS than males. AMS is closely associated with elevated BP in the early morning period, which may be correlated to higher headache incidence in subjects with higher morning SBP.

Abstract
Acute high‐altitude (HA) exposure induces physiological responses of the heart and blood pressure (BP). However, few studies have investigated the responses associated with dipper and non‐dipper BP patterns. In this prospective study, 72 patients underwent echocardiography and 24‐h ambulatory BP testing at sea level and HA. Patients were divided into dipper and non‐dipper groups according to BP at sea level. Acute HA exposure elevated 24‐h systolic and diastolic BP and increased BP variability, particularly in the morning. Moreover, acute exposure increased left ventricular torsion, end‐systolic elastance, effective arterial elastance, and untwisting rate, but reduced peak early diastolic velocity/late diastolic velocity and peak early diastolic velocity/early diastolic velocity, implying enhanced left ventricular systolic function but impaired filling. Dippers showed pronounced increases in night‐time BP, while non‐dippers showed significant elevation in day‐time BP, which blunted differences in nocturnal BP fall, and lowest night‐time and evening BP. Dippers had higher global longitudinal strain, torsion, and untwisting rates after acute HA exposure. Variations in night‐time systolic BP correlated with variations in torsion and global longitudinal strain. Our study firstly demonstrates BP and cardiac function variations during acute HA exposure in different BP patterns and BP increases in dippers at night, while non‐dippers showed day‐time increases. Furthermore, enhanced left ventricular torsion and global longitudinal strain are associated with BP changes. Non‐dippers showed poor cardiac compensatory and maladaptive to acute HA exposure. However, the exact mechanisms involved need further illumination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of using a deep learning-based method for measuring SBPs and DBPs and the effects of cuff inflation and deflation rates on the deep learning-based blood pressure (BP) measurement (in comparison with the manual auscultatory method). METHODS Forty healthy subjects were recruited. SBP and DBP were measured under four conditions (i.e. standard deflation, fast deflation, slow inflation and fast inflation) using both our newly developed deep learning-based method and the reference manual auscultatory method. The BPs measured under each condition were compared between the two methods. The performance of using the deep learning-based method to measure BP changes was also evaluated. RESULTS There were no significant BP differences between the two methods (P > 0.05), except for the DBPs measured during the slow and fast inflation conditions. By applying the deep learning-based method, SBPs measured from fast deflation, slow inflation and fast inflation decreased significantly by 3.0, 3.5 and 4.7 mmHg (all P < 0.05), respectively, in comparison with the standard deflation condition. Whereas, corresponding DBPs measured from the slow and fast inflation conditions increased significantly by 5.0 and 6.8 mmHg, respectively (both P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in BP changes measured by the two methods in most cases (all P > 0.05, except for DBP change in the slow and fast inflation conditions). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the deep learning-based method can achieve accurate BP measurement under the deflation and inflation conditions with different rates.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in using wearable devices to improve cardiovascular risk factors and care. This review evaluates how wearable devices are used for cardiovascular disease monitoring and risk reduction. Wearables have been evaluated for detecting arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation) as well as monitoring physical activity, sleep, and blood pressure. Thus far, most interventions for risk reduction have focused on increasing physical activity. Interventions have been more successful if the use of wearable devices is combined with an engagement strategy such as incorporating principles from behavioral economics to integrate social or financial incentives. As the technology continues to evolve, wearable devices could be an important part of remote-monitoring interventions but are more likely to be effective at improving cardiovascular care if integrated into programs that use an effective behavior change strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHOD The Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study is a national, population-based examination of ∼11 000 adults with a third follow-up phase at 12 years. The aim was to use ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in a subsample (n = 508) of the main Australian Diabetes third follow-up cohort to determine the proportion with established, masked or white-coat hypertension in city and regional centers and the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. RESULTS Mean age was 58.9 years, BMI was 27.6 kg/m with 53% women. The mean clinic BP was 127/73 mmHg and mean 24-h BP was 121/73 mmHg. Using regression analysis estimations, the predicted ABPM daytime equivalent for the hypertension threshold values of 140/90 mmHg were 136/90 mmHg. There were 43% classified as hypertensive due to either ABPM 24-h more than 130/80 mmHg (17%) or taking antihypertensive therapy (25%). Ambulatory SBP/DBP were higher in men (24-h + 6.4/4.9 mmHg, P < 0.001) compared with women. There was only 3% with white-coat but 21% with masked hypertension indicating 24% misdiagnosis. Based on ABPM, 9% were treated and still hypertensive, which was three times more common in men (14%) than women (4%). Thus 36% had not reached target. There were no differences between urban and rural participants. Based on ABPM, nearly half the participants were hypertensive while only a quarter were taking antihypertensive therapy. CONCLUSION The findings highlight the importance of out-of-office BP assessments and the considerable gaps in effectively diagnosing and treating hypertension.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to determine the effect of a cuff properly sized for mid-upper arm circumference on blood pressure measurement in obese surgical patients. Method This prospective crossover clinical trial was conducted with 100 patients who had body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 and mid-upper arm circumference ≥27 cm and were admitted to the general surgery unit of a medical faculty hospital in İstanbul, Turkey between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015. Blood pressure of the patients was measured using a small-sized adult cuff and a cuff properly sized for mid-upper arm circumference. Results Among the patients, 39% were morbidly obese and 67% had mid-upper arm circumference between 35 and 44 cm. Systolic blood pressure of the patients with a small adult cuff was 20.78 mmHg higher than that obtained with a cuff properly sized for mid-upper arm circumference, and their diastolic blood pressure was 10.15 mmHg higher on average (p<0.001). Only 6% of those with systolic hypertension according to the small adult cuff readings were found to have hypertension according to the cuff properly sized for mid-upper arm circumference (p<0.001). Conclusion The results showed that, in obese surgical patients, blood pressure is measured inaccurately and found to be falsely high when measurements are not performed using a cuff properly sized for mid-upper arm circumference.

Abstract
Background Research links blood pressure variability (BPV) with stroke; however, the association with cerebral small‐vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. As BPV and mean blood pressure are interrelated, it remains uncertain whether BPV adds additional information to understanding cerebrovascular morphological characteristics. Methods and Results A systematic review was performed from inception until March 3, 2019. Eligibility criteria included population, adults without stroke (<4 weeks); exposure, BPV quantified by any metric over any duration; comparison, (1) low versus high or mean BPV and (2) people with versus without CSVD; and outcomes, (1) CSVD as subcortical infarct, lacunae, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds, or enlarged perivascular spaces; and (2) standardized mean difference in BPV. A total of 27 articles were meta‐analyzed, comprising 12 309 unique brain scans. A total of 31 odds ratios (ORs) were pooled, indicating that higher systolic BPV was associated with higher odds for CSVD (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.14–1.42; I2=85%) independent of mean systolic pressure. Likewise, higher diastolic BPV was associated with higher odds for CSVD (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14–1.48; I2=53%) independent of mean diastolic pressure. There was no evidence of a pairwise interaction between systolic/diastolic and BPV/mean ORs (P=0.47), nor a difference between BPV versus mean pressure ORs (P=0.58). Fifty‐four standardized mean differences were pooled and provided similar results for pairwise interaction (P=0.38) and difference between standardized mean differences (P=0.70). Conclusions On the basis of the available studies, BPV was associated with CSVD independent of mean blood pressure. However, more high‐quality longitudinal data are required to elucidate whether BPV contributes unique variance to CSVD morphological characteristics.

Abstract
The majority of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have elevated blood pressure (BP). In patients with CKD, hypertension is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, progression of CKD, and all-cause mortality. New guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recommend new thresholds and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in patients with and without CKD. A new aspect of the guidelines is the recommendation for measurement of out-of-office BP to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension and guide therapy. In this KDOQI (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative) perspective, we review the recommendations for accurate BP measurement in the office, at home, and with ambulatory BP monitoring. Regardless of location, validated devices and appropriate cuff sizes should be used. In the clinic and at home, proper patient preparation and positioning are critical. Patients should receive information about the importance of BP measurement techniques and be encouraged to advocate for adherence to guideline recommendations. Implementing appropriate BP measurement in routine practice is feasible and should be incorporated in system-wide efforts to improve the care of patients with hypertension. Hypertension is the number 1 chronic disease risk factor in the world; BP measurements in the office, at home, and with ambulatory BP monitoring should adhere to recommendations from the AHA.

Abstract
In clinical practice, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) tends to be used solely for diagnosing hypertension, especially to identify white-coat and masked hypertension. However, ABPM can provide additional information to guide the management and drug treatment of hypertension. In this brief review, the general principles governing the use of ABPM in clinical practice, such as the devices and software, recording requirements, the thresholds for the day, night and 24-hour periods and how often to repeat ABPM are summarized. The use of ABPM for diagnosing, determining the efficacy of treatment, and assessing the long-term control of hypertension are discussed.

Abstract
Discrepancies between clinic and research blood pressure (BP) measurements lead to uncertainties in translating hypertension management guidelines into practice. We assessed the concordance between standardized automated clinic BP, from a primary care clinic, and research BP, from a randomized trial conducted at the same site. Mean single-visit clinic BP was higher by 4.4/3.8 mm Hg (P = 0.007/<0.001). Concordance in systolic BP (SBP) improved with closer proximity of measurements (difference = 2.5 mm Hg, P = 0.21 for visits within 7 days), but not averaging across multiple visits (difference =5.1(9.2) mm Hg; P < 0.001). This discrepancy was greater among female participants. Clinic-based difference in SBP between two visits was more variable than research-based change (SD = 19.6 vs 14.0; P = 0.002); a 2-arm trial using clinic measurements would need 95% more participants to achieve comparable power. Implementation of a bundled standardization intervention decreased discrepancies between clinic and research BP, compared to prior reports. However, clinic measurements remained higher and more variable, suggesting treatment to research-based targets may lead to overtreatment and using clinic BP approximately halves power in trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent data from randomized clinical trials and updates to hypertension guidelines warrant a review of the literature for the diagnosis and management of hypertension in the clinic setting. Although there have been significant advances in ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring and home BP monitoring, office BP (OBP) measurements remains the primary means of diagnosis and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS The current review focuses on updated guidelines, proper technique, device selection, and the recent controversy regarding unattended BP measurements. We review the data on cardiovascular outcomes, the comparison of OBP with ambulatory BP monitoring and home BP monitoring and some of the pitfalls of OBP measurements. SUMMARY The current review highlights the need for constant review of BP goals to minimize cardiovascular risk and some of the ongoing controversies regarding OBP measurements.
