Home Blood Pressure Monitors
Home Blood Pressure Monitors Save Money and Side Effects
Home blood pressure monitors for high blood pressure diagnosis could result in a saving of billions of dollars each year in hypertension-related medical costs - say researchers in Japan.
Most of this was cost saving came from costs saved by avoiding the start of treatment for people who had high blood pressure when their doctor checked it but whose blood pressures were in the normal range when checked by a blood pressure monitor at home. This is sometimes called white coat high blood pressure
It also seems likely that the use of home blood pressure monitors could improve blood pressure control for most people - and would thus improve their chances of remaining healthy.
If you don't have a home blood pressure monitor then you should think seriously about buying one now.
