Influence of home blood pressure measuring conditions in the evening on the morning–evening home blood pressure difference in treated hypertensive patients: the J-HOME study

Abstract

Measurement of evening BP after drinking and measurement of evening BP after bathing were strongly associated with an increased home systolic ME dif, independent of morning and evening home BP levels. Therefore, evening home BP measuring conditions (before or after drinking alcohol and bathing) should be taken into account while evaluating the home systolic ME dif.
