Excerpt

The poor reliability of clinic-based blood pressure (BP) measurements is not news to any practicing primary care provider (PCP). Many studies have documented significant differences between BP values measured in the context of a clinic visit, a research study, at home, and using ambulatory monitors.13 For this very reason, some PCPs habitually repeat the BP measurements provided by their staff, something they wouldn’t necessarily consider for more reliable primary care measures like a patient’s body weight. …
