Multicenter Study Clinical TrialPredictive power of home blood pressure and clinic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with impaired glucose metabolism and diabetes.
We evaluated the predictive power of home blood pressure and clinic blood pressure based on the long-term cardiovascular outcome in hypertensive patients with and without impaired glucose metabolism (IGM). ⋯ The present findings suggest that long-term cardiovascular risk in IGM patients should be assessed based on home blood pressure, not on clinic blood pressure.
