About this trial
comparing automatic blood pressure measurments methods with conventional office methods in follow up and monitoring of hypertensive patients and predicting hypertension mediated organ damage .
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients who were screening for suspected hypertention or white coat hypertention .
medically underserved population .
primary arterial hypertention .
high risk hypertensive patients [resistant hypertension ,patients with poor medication adherance ]
Disqualifiers
patients with secondary causes of hypertention
patients with other cardiac diseases [heart faliure ,valvular heart diseases ]
chronic illness affect blood pressure as chronic kideny disease .
Trial population
A calculated minimum sample of 620 male and female hypertensive patients aged more than 18 years old recruited from outpatient clinic of assiut cardiology departement will be randomly assigned 1:1 design.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
predictive accuracy of automatic blood pressure measurments versus conventional office based measurments in identifying patient at risk of hypertension mediated organ damage [HMOD] .
this outcomes will be assessed by measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure using both automated devices \[eg omron HEM -907\] and conventional manual sphygmomanometers in a seated postion ,after 5 minutes of rest .measurments will be taken in duplicate on two separate visits ,one week apart and the average readings will be used for analysis .the presence of HMOD will be evaluated through echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy \[LVH \] and microalbuminuria .correlation and predictive value \[ sensitivity , specificity\] will be calculated to compare both methods
