The gold standard for blood pressure monitoring is an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, but this type of monitoring is not widely available. However, research has shown that home blood pressure monitoring is as accurate as ambulatory monitoring when done correctly. In this episode, I share how to get your most accurate blood pressure measurement to potentially avoid over-treatment, misdiagnosis of hypertension, and clinical inertia.

Remember always to empty your bladder, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking within 30 minutes of blood pressure monitoring and use your bare upper arm when measuring your blood pressure. Ready, let's do this!

We all know that hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. I have two questions for you. Did you know that many of the decisions your doctor makes about your hypertension treatment are based on your 10-year cardiovascular risk score?

In this episode, I will explain how to calculate your 10-year cardiovascular risk score, why it is essential to understand it, and how to improve your score. According to extensive research that has been done since the 1960s, this calculation is fairly reliable if you are between 40 and 79 years old, have cholesterol less than 320, and have no history of cardiovascular disease.

Of note, this calculation is useless when your LDL is 190 or greater because this level would automatically indicate a high risk for a cardiac event within 10 years. Work with your doctor to determine your treatment options.

Calculate your 10-year cardiovascular risk at this link http://www.cvriskcalculator.com/

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: How to Make It Useful for Your Healthcare Provider's Review? In this episode, I will tell you how to make your home blood pressure monitoring useful for your healthcare provider's review. What I want for you is an accurate diagnosis and treatment, and I know you won't get the wrong diagnosis if you follow these instructions.

Home blood pressure monitoring, logging, and sharing might be the most important things you can do if you want to prevent being labeled and treated for hypertension incorrectly.

Measure once a day at various times for 7 days before your clinic visit for the best results based on recommendations from a BP panel of experts in 2017 (MD and researchers).

Measuring your blood pressure in both arms is another very important thing to do to determine your risk for peripheral vascular disease, heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. If your systolic blood pressure is greater than 10 points consistently when you compare your right and left arm, you might be at a higher cardiovascular risk. Let your health care provider know about this on your next visit.

Blood pressure measurement is crucial to figure out if you have high blood pressure or not because it will guide critical decisions about your health. Your doctor will use your blood pressure measurements to determine if you need medication and how much to prescribe. 

Based on the 2017 hypertension guidelines, using office blood pressure monitoring to diagnose high blood pressure, is no longer recommended. Office blood pressure monitoring is used only as a screening tool. 

Home blood pressure monitoring is in the new hypertension guidelines as the most accurate way to diagnose high blood pressure. However, what's missing is how to share your readings with your doctor. In this episode, you will learn how to share your blood pressure measurements with your doctor.
