This is exactly the opposite of what which is written in the quoted wikipedia article:
> Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and patient self-measurement using a home blood pressure monitoring device is being increasingly used to differentiate those with white coat hypertension or experiencing the white coat effect from those with chronic hypertension
Continuous monitoring is a viable workaround wrt. white coat symptoms. It is just a lot more effort and expensive.
- Etheryte 1y agoMeasuring your blood pressure at home is not continuous monitoring.
- gessha 1y agoContinuously measuring blood pressure at home is continuous monitoring.
- Etheryte 1y agoUnless you plan to sit at your desk all day and do nothing but press the button on your monitor, it isn't. These are two very different things.
- curmudgeon22 1y agoThere are devices called "holter monitors" that a person wears continuously and which measure your blood pressure frequently. I would call this continuous though it's more like every 15 minutes or whatever it's programmed for. It's all without your intervention. My ex bought one when they wanted more data about their high blood pressure.
- PaulHoule 1y agoBecause I fainted, I wore a holter monitor for a month that did not measure blood pressure but instead my EEG, uploading the data via the cellular network. My cardiologist said it measured about 1 million heatbeats in that time.
- Etheryte 1y agoI'm well aware of this, but this is different from what we're discussing here. While Holters measure continuously, they don't give you continuous feedback. The general procedure is that the data is either gathered and downloaded or sent over network and the patient sees it only after the gathering is done.
