Peak home blood pressure as an earlier and strong novel risk factor for stroke: the practitioner-based nationwide J-HOP study extended.

ABSTRACT: While home blood pressure (BP) measurement is recommended for hypertension management, the clinical implications of peak home BP values have not been well studied. This study investigated the association between pathological threshold or frequency of peak home BP and cardiovascular events in patients with ≥1 cardiovascular risk factor. The Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure (J-HOP) study enrolled participants from 2005-2012 with extended follow-up from December 2017 to May 2018, which generated the dataset for this analysis. Average peak home systolic BP (SBP) was defined as average of the highest three BP values on 14-day measurement period. Patients were divided into quintiles of peak home BP, and the risk of stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular d
