Настоящий документ содержит сведения о доступных в настоящее время данных, а также рекомендации по использованию метода контроля артериального давления в домашних условиях в клинической и научно-исследовательской практике. Данное руководство основано на рекомендациях 2000 года и содержит ряд дополнений. В нем рассматриваются способы контроля артериального давления в домашних условиях, их диагностические и терапевтические возможности, применение в клинической практике, в частности, в отдельных популяциях, а также использование в научных исследованиях. В последнем разделе рассмотрены проблемы, связанные с внедрением данных рекомендаций в клиническую практику.
