Jeff Linder @jefflinder.bsky.social · 21/05/2026For a change, I am being a good spaced learner and have almost finished relistening to this @thecurbsiders.bsky.social episode with @jordybc.bsky.social. But a question... thecurbsiders.com/curbsiders-p... 331
Jeff Linder @jefflinder.bsky.social · 21/05/2026For home blood pressure monitoring, asking patients to get 2 blood pressures twice a day for 7 days for a total of 28 readings, seems perfectly designed to make it not get done at all. I ask patients to do 1 blood pressure, morning and night for 3 days. @paulnwilliams.bsky.social 140
Jeff Linder @jefflinder.bsky.social · 21/05/2026For those 6 blood pressures -- just 6! -- I give them the AHA HBPM instructions and a link to validatebp.com. Is there really that much of a marginal gain of asking patients to get 28 blood pessures over 7 days versus 6 readings over 3 days? Happy to give up precision for ease and feasibility. 110
