Background: Hypertension is the most common chronic condition managed in general practice, but blood pressure (BP) control is often suboptimal. Home blood pressure (HBP) monitoring can be more accurate than office based BP (OBP) monitoring, with HBP readings approximately 10/5 mmHg lower than OBP in the same patients.
Methods: Hypertensive patients from a single general practice were invited to a cardiovascular risk review clinic using HBP monitoring.
