The PromiseImagine when doctors can…

• Prevent Disease by identifying risks, early interventions

• Diagnose Conditions less Predict Disease pre-symptomatically with simple testing

• invasively, more accurately

• Select Drugs that maximize benefits and minimize risks

• Calibrate Treatments to heighten efficacy and recovery

• Treat/Cure Disease using our own genes

Office BP Measurement

§ Use auscultatory method with a properly calibrated and validated instrument.

§ Patient should be seated quietly for 5 minutes in a chair (not on an exam table), feet on the floor, and arm supported at heart level.

§ Appropriate-sized cuff should be used to ensure accuracy.

§ At least two measurements should be made.

§ Clinicians should provide to patients, verbally and in writing, specific BP numbers and BP goals.

BP Measurement Techniques

MethodBrief Description

In-officeTwo readings, 5 minutes apart, sitting in chair. Confirm elevated reading in contralateral arm.

Ambulatory BP monitoringIndicated for evaluation of “white-coat” HTN. Absence of 10–20% BP decrease during sleep may indicate increased CVD risk.

Self-measurementProvides information on response to therapy. May help improve adherence to therapy and evaluate “white-coat” HTN.

Laboratory Tests

Routine Tests• Electrocardiogram • Urinalysis • Blood glucose, and hematocrit • Serum potassium, creatinine, or the corresponding estimated GFR,

and calcium• Lipid profile, after 9- to 12-hour fast, that includes high-density and

low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides

Optional tests • Measurement of urinary albumin excretion or albumin/creatinine ratio

More extensive testing for identifiable causes is not generally indicated unless BP control is not achieved
