Self-monitoring blood pressure – how important is the correct monitoring schedule?
This study investigated if there is an optimal self-monitoring (SM) blood pressure (BP) schedule for patients with hypertension.
They found that SM-BP should be done for 3 days and can increase to 7 days if necessary.

The effect of the DASH diet on heart disease
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) diet on heart disease, blood pressure and diabetes in patients with and without diabetes. The main finding of this study was that the DASH diet is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and improves blood pressure in patients with and without diabetes.
