Blood Pressure Measurement: Should Technique Define Targets?

"Visit 1: The participants will have the oscillometric device, BpTRU applied to their arm with the higher blood pressure. This will allow assessment with the commonest used Canadian device, which provides an average after 5 unattended readings. This assessment will be followed by the participant wearing a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) for 24 hours.~Visit 2: Upon returning the 24 hour ABPM device, the patient will have their blood pressure measured with an unattended Omron second. The Omron HEM 907XL will be applied to the same arm that the BpTRU was applied to in the first visit. There will be 5 minutes of quiet rest (participant alone) and three readings subsequently while the patient is still alone with the average blood pressure measurement being noted."

"Visit 1: The participant will have the Omron HEM 907 XL applied to the arm with the higher blood pressure. There will be five minutes of quiet rest (patient alone) and three reading subsequently, but with the nurse entering the room (i.e., partially attended), with the average being noted. This assessment will be followed by the participant wearing a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) for 24 hours.~Visit 2: Upon returning 24 hour ABPM device, the participant will have the Omron HEM 907 XL applied to same arm that was used during the first visit.
