A total of 10 of 210 BP measurements that were discordant for high systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (> 135/85 mmHg) between the manual BP and the estimated BP from the ABPM device are marked with an asterisk (*). Hypertension was defined as ≥ 2 high SBP or DBP in three measurements.
