This Harvard Medical School Continuing Education video examines these key questions: What is the proper technique for measuring blood pressure? How is hypertension diagnosed? What are the defining characteristics and risk factors associated with white coat hypertension and masked hypertension?
Dr. Michael Honigberg, MD, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, steps through the proper technique for measuring blood pressure, explains the current ACC/AHA guidelines for diagnosing hypertension, and defines terms used to classify stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension. Options for home blood pressure monitoring and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring are discussed in relation to identifying the indicators of normotension, sustained hypertension, white coat hypertension and masked hypertension.
This video was peer reviewed by Dr. Jonathan Salik, TMD, MHPEd, Instructor of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital; and Dr. Sugantha Sundar, MD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesia, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, to validate the quality and accuracy of the content.
