In fact, recent research published in the May 2006 issue of the American Journal of Hypertension shows that home monitoring is as effective and accurate as the far more expensive and inconvenient method of ABPM. This was the first study to directly compare the two methods. Please consider making a good investment in your heart health by purchasing a home monitoring device. 

Increased physical activity, especially vigorous activity that really gets the heart beating faster, lowers the resting heartbeat rate. A heart rate above 80 beats per minute at rest has been linked with an increased risk of heart disease in men and women with hypertension. And a study at the Medical University of South Carolina reported in the American Journal of Hypertension in August 2006 showed that the risk of coronary heart disease increased by 50 percent in prehypertensive individuals with resting heart rates more than 80 beats per minute. Increased physical activity can eliminate that risk.
