“…Since then the awareness of the limitations of office BP measurement has been raised, and wider availability of simple and accurate ABPM and HBPM devices have been made available. 1) 2) Initially, ABPM was considered as an investigational tool and its used was confined to specialized hypertension centers due to its relatively high cost and inconvenience in the clinical application, 3 - 5) but over the years its availability has gradually increased. On the other hand, physicians have been reluctant in using HBPM in the routine management of hypertensive patients.…”

Because blood pressure (BP) is an ever changing hemodynamic phenomenon, a BP value, once measured at a physician's office (Office BP), is often unrepresentative of an individual's true BP status. Both ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) provide more accurate and reproducible estimate of BP, and produce stronger predictive ability for cardiovascular outcome than conventional office BP. Two BP measuring techniques, ABPM and HBPM have been widely in clinical use for the detection and management of hypertension. However, they have different advantages and limitations in practice. At present, it has become crucial to understand the characteristics and clinical implications of these BP measuring techniques for those responsible for the care of hypertensive patients.
