Abstract

Traditional blood pressure (BP) measurement has made its time. We should familiarize ourselves with automated unattended BP measurements. This method will virtually eliminate the BP rise associated with the presence of doctors or even nurses. Using such a protocol in patients who meet the SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) inclusion/exclusion criteria, a blood pressure target of .120 mm Hg will lead to an important reduction in the risk of stroke and heart attack. © 2016 American Heart Association, Inc.
