title: Apparatus for home monitoring of pregnant hypertensive patients.
abstract: A simple, convenient to use apparatus suitable for patient self-monitoring is described and illustrated with graphs of mean arterial pressure determinants which provide clinically useful hemodynamic details unobtainable with cuff blood pressure measurements. A bathroom scale and a forearm cuff blood pressure system completes the home monitoring apparatus.
