Overview
The document was prepared by the Working Group on Blood Pressure Monitoring and Cardiovascular Variability of the European Society of Hypertension (1). It presents practical and simple recommendations which are, however, important for accurate blood pressure measurement. Contrary to the majority of other guidelines, it does not assess level of evidence and classes of recommendations because many aspects of blood pressure measurement are based on usual clinical practice rather than on data from high-quality studies.
Keywords:
