About this study

This will be a prospective observational study. The population would be pediatric patients 6 years to \<19 years of age who were referred for elevated blood pressure to investigate if home blood pressure (HBP) can determine blood pressure phenotype (normotensive, hypertensive, masked hypertension, white coat hypertension) as accurately as ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) in childhood and adolescence.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
