Abstract：ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the office blood pressure and function check blood pressure, and their consistency in the diagnosis of hypertension.Methods388 volunteers aged 15~89 years, average (54.30±14.53) years were enrolled in this study, 187 volunteers were male, average (50.39±15.44) years and 201 volunteers were female, average (57.95±12.66) years. Mercury column type sphygmomanometer and omron atherosclerosis detector (BP-203RPEⅢ) were used to test and record all of the patients' blood pressure and heart rate respectively.Results ①In general office blood pressure and heart rate were higher than that in the function check; the average systolic blood pressure difference between office blood pressure and function check blood pressure was 12.36 mmHg, the average diastolic blood pressure difference was 8.42 mmHg, average value of heart rate difference was 6.17 times per minute.②According to the office blood pressure, 90.72% (352/388 cases) of 388 volunteers were diagnosed as hypertension and 53.09% (206/388 cases) of them were diagnosed as hypertension by the function check blood pressure. Only 56.82% (200/352 cases) of patients which were diagnosed as hypertension according to the office blood pressure were diagnosed as hypertension by the function check blood pressure.Conclusion ①The consistency of the office blood pressure and function check blood pressure in the diagnosis of hypertension was poor.②Simply depending on the office blood pressure to diagnose hypertension will lead to misdiagnosis and diagnosis will be missed.
