[1]. Briefly, they reassessed the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) by changing threshold values for the diagnosis of hypertension from 135/85 to 130/80 mmHg in 646 participants who were suspected of having hypertension (office blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg). Eventually, they have found that lowering the diagnostic threshold of home hypertension from 135/85–130/80 mmHg significantly enhances the diagnostic sensitivity of HMBP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLetter10.1097/HJH.000000000000438344916641665Q1WOS:0018396142000152-s2.0-105046484622PMID: 42550070Q1
