of
digital electronic sphygmomanometer (DES) for self-monitoring of home BP.
@ES Methods:
@EN The BP's of 14 patients with essential hypertension were measured with mercury sphygmomanometers at outpatient department by physician and with DES at home (twice a day) by the patients. Patients were followed up every 2 weeks for 4 weeks and
previous 2 weeks' average home BP's were compared with the office BP's of each 2 weeks' end.
@ES Results:
@EN There was a significant difference between office and home BP (both systolic and diastolic) ; office average BP (151/95mmHg) was higher than home average BP (136/86 mmHg).
@ES Conclusion:
@EN Caution may be needed in the interpretation of office BP unless it is measured several times after adequate rest.
