Associations between blood pressure measurements and clinical outcomes*

Type of blood pressure measurementClinical outcomeNumber of studies†Relative risk range
*AMBP = ambulatory monitoring blood pressure; CVD = cardiovascular; SMBP = self measured blood pressure.
†Number of studies showing a significant association (p<0.05).
‡Association between highest quintile of SMBP and increased risk of stroke.
