Multicenter Study
Evolution of target organ damage by different values of self-blood pressure measurement in untreated hypertensive patients.
To determine the prognostic value of various self-blood pressure (BP) monitoring (SBPM) cutoff at the time of diagnosis. ⋯ Baseline SBPM values <130/80 mm Hg is associated with better evolution of amount of TOD than SBPM values <135/85 mm Hg. These results would support a clinical trial to test a SBPM threshold <130/80 as an optimal pressure not needing pharmacological treatment among those with CBP ≥ 140/90.
