title: [The therapeutic significance of home blood pressure measurement].
abstract: Optimization of antihypertensive therapy during the initial dose titration as well as the long term follow-up of chronic therapy constitute the main therapeutic indications of blood pressure measurement at home. Furthermore home blood pressure measurements may be of value in patients with unsatisfactory blood pressure response in whom poor compliance is suspected. Finally patients may adjust their antihypertensive therapy according to the level of self-recorded blood pressure measurements.
