We recognise that there may be circumstances in which a clinician and/or patient prefers to base BP management decisions on out-of-office (HBPM or ABPM) or standardized clinic BP readings. Whilst we have not suggested a target BP range based on HBPM due to a paucity of evidence, we note that observational studies utilising HBPM or standardised clinic BP readings generally demonstrate a linear relationship between BP and adverse outcomes, and that a systolic BP approximately ≤130 mmHg appears to be associated with lowest risk of all-cause and/or CV mortality.
