Hypertension is a health condition which often does not present symptoms. It is a condition that affects the population and is responsible for serious implications that end up affecting public health. This work aims to evaluate the reliability of measurements blood pressure and the performance of the automatic handle device, comparing it with the aneroid's meter. The study also provides information for the correct home blood pressure monitoring, reviewing technical aspects for conducting monitoring, and discussing its main clinical applications. The quantitative study approved by the ethics committee, was conducted in the city of Curitiba, Parana’s state. Samples of 52 adult volunteers of both genders were collected. Paired measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure obtained with the automatic measuring device and the aneroid device were analyzed using analysis of variance. Measurement data was interpreted with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression. As an obtained result, a strong correlation between equipment measurements was noted. According to results of variance analysis the equipments are not statistically different, although linear regression method presented a visible value dispersion. |
