Home Blood Pressure Monitoring(Hardcover)

Description:

Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients
at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately,
in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of
inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of
hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted.

This volume presents the available evidence on home blood pressure monitoring, discusses its strengths and limitations,
and presents strategies for its optimal implementation in clinical practice. Written by distinguished international
experts, it offers a complete source of information and guide for practitioners and researchers dealing with the
management of hypertension.
