Q

Describe diagnosis HTA during visit 1 (3)

A
  • Require minimum of 3 readings during same visit (discard first reading) - gold standard is automated office blood pressure (AOBP)
  • History and Physical (cardioresp, fundoscopy, bruits, peripheral pulse) +/- Labs
  • If AOBP ≥ 135/85 or non-AOBP ≥ 140/90, out-of-office BP should be performed before Visit 2

Q

Describe Out-of-office BP measurements (3)

A

can diagnose if any:

  • Daytime ambulatory BP ≥ 135/85
  • 24h ambulatory BP (ABPM) ≥ 130/80

    2 readings before breakfast, 2 readings 2h after dinner, eliminate day 1 readings and average other 6 days (total 24 readings)
