Brief summary
This study aims to assess whether validated and non-validated blood pressure measuring devices sold on the online market are accurate in regards to the mean awake BP from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Interventions
Comparison of a BP measured with the home BP devices and the average awake ABPM performed immediately after
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Adults aged \> 18 years scheduled to undergo an ABPM
Exclusion criteria
* Upper arm size outside of cuff range of selected devices (\<22 cm or \>42 cm) * Night shift workers * Permanent atrial fibrillation * Known severe aortic stenosis * Contraindication to measure BP on the non-dominant arm * Ongoing pregnancy * Inability or unwillingness to provide consent
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean difference in systolic BP | At enrollment (time 0) | Mean difference in systolic BP between the home BP device and the awake ABPM |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean difference in diastolic BP | At enrollment (time 0) | Mean difference in diastolic BP between the home BP device and the awake ABPM |
| Mean difference in systolic BP from validated device | At enrollment (time 0) | Mean difference in systolic BP between the non-validated home BP device and the validated home BP device |
| Mean difference in diastolic BP from validated device | At enrollment (time 0) | Mean difference in diastolic BP between the non-validated home BP device and the validated home BP device |
