Objective To compare home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) versus ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) versus office blood pressure monitoring (OBPM) in diagnosis and management of hypertension, and to find the optimal blood pressure measurement and management.Methods The following were compared among three BP monitoring, such as cost-effectiveness, prognostic value of target organ damage (TOD), predictive value of the progress in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and blood pressure variety (BPV). Results Compared to OBPM, ABPM was the most cost-effective method in the primary diagnosis of hypertension, but HBPM was the optimal method in long-term and self-management in hypertension. In hypertensives, compared to OBPM, HBPM and ABPM, especially HBPM, had a stronger predictive value for cardiovascular events, stroke, end-stage renal dysfunction (ESRD) and all-cause mortality. In hypertensives with renal dysfunction, controlling HBPM and ABPM, especially controlling ABPM, was an effective way to slow the progress in renal dysfunction, to decrease cardiovascular events, and to decrease the need of dialysis. All BPV derived from OBPM, ABPM and HBPM had a predictive significance of cardiovascular events, and HBPM BPV performed the best.Conclusion Compared to OBPM, ABPM is the best method in primary diagnosis of hypertension and BP control in CKD patients, while HBPM is the best method in predicting and in evaluating BPV, as well as in long-term and self-management in hypertension.
