Abstract

<h4>Background and purpose</h4>To compare the predictive power of self-measured home blood pressure (HBP) and casual blood pressure (CBP) for stroke risk in relation to the Joint National Committee 7 (JNC-7) classification.<h4>Methods</h4>HBP and CBP measurements were taken in 1702 subjects (> or =4...
