Protocols

Different protocols are used in conjunction with blood pressure measurements. Therefore, the information models should cover all aspects that are needed to specify what to measure exactly.

Protocol Description aspects to consider
PO standard normal observation by a physician in his office normally performed in office, patient is sitting and in rest, professional device, measured at arm
home measurement self-observation of patient performed at home, with untrusted device, typically measured at wrist
AOBP Automated Office Blood Pressure measuring blood pressure in a clinical setting that uses an automated device to take multiple readings with the patient alone in a room, thereby eliminating the "white coat effect" and human error associated with manual measurements
Bruce Bruce treadmilll test evaluation of cardiac function and physical fitness
Naughton treadmill protocol increasing exertion
NHANES National Health and Nutrititon Examination Survey  
orthostatic supine -> sitting -> standing varying body position to examine what happens if patient stands up
24h average sequence of observations during 24 hours measured all 15 minutes for 24 hours, at arm, arbitrary exertion, activity unclear
tilt sequence of measurements with increasing tilt tilt angle
.. ..  

The aspects will be further specified…

  • Systolic (Blood) Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT): clinical trial that found that treating high blood pressure (hypertension) to a lower goal of less than 120 mm Hg significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular events and death compared to standard treatment (less than 140 mm Hg) in high-risk patients
