Patient preferences for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring devices: Wrist-type or arm-type?

<h4>Background</h4>Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is important in evaluating average 24-hour blood pressure (BP) levels, circadian rhythm, sleeping BP and BP variability but many patients are reluctant to use standard ABPM devices.<h4>Methods</h4>We compared two...
