Achieving reliable blood pressure measurements in clinical practice: It's time to meet the challenge

Abstract: A summary of statements for blood pressure (BP) measurement in the evaluation of hypertension in the 21st century by 25 international experts is provided. The status of office, home and ambulatory BP measurement techniques are discussed. Office BP measurement, whether automated (preferred), or otherwise, should only be used as a screening measurement, and diagnostic decisions for the initiation and titration of drug treatment should be based on out-of-office measurements (ambulatory or home). The hardware and … Show more

“…The diagnosis of hypertension and the effectiveness of hypertension therapy should be guided and monitored using blood pressure (BP) measurements. Both office and home BP measurements are common methods of BP monitoring; however, office BP (whether auscultatory or oscillometric) remains the primary tool for assessing patients with hypertension . Despite the well‐established role of office cuff‐based measurements of BP in clinical practice, the discussion regarding the best method for evaluating BP remains active .…”

“…Existen problemas importantes en la transmisión de los datos científicos sobre la exactitud de los dispositivos de presión arterial a los usuarios concretos (15,16,41,(43)(44)(45). Durante varios decenios se han publicado muchos artículos importantes sobre las deficiencias de la medición de la presión arterial (10,46), pero la información rara vez se ha difundido más allá de los investigadores y los profesionales de salud que ya conocen los problemas.…”

“…Un problema fundamental de la regulación es que las autoridades se interesan principalmente en reconocer las características de seguridad de los dispositivos en lugar de su exactitud y eficacia diagnóstica (15,43). En efecto, los fabricantes no tienen la obligación de verificar la exactitud según normas específicas unificadas ni de divulgar al público los resultados de las pruebas de exactitud.…”

“…Therefore, frequent and repeated measurement of BP under conditions of minimum environmental stress is recommended for the assessment of BP in individuals. For this purpose, fully automated BP monitors are increasingly replacing standard mercury sphygmomanometers [3]. No speci ic training is required to use these monitors and they avoid observer error.…”
