Figure 1 The expedited assessment and diagnosis of patients with hypertension: focus on validated technologies for BP assessment. ∗∗Thresholds refer to BP values averaged across the corresponding number of visits and not just the most recent office visit. ABPM, ambulatory BP measurement; BP, blood pressure (mm Hg); DBP, diastolic BP (mm Hg); HBPM, home BP measurement; HTN, hypertension; OBPM, office BP measurement; SBP, systolic BP (mm Hg).
