Eleven patients with essential hypertension including borderline cases were examined to evaluate the effects of self-monitoring on their blood pressure readings. We also examined in 7 subjects as to whether the ability to estimate their blood pressure was improved during self-monitoring in order to study that the increased awareness of their blood pressure resulted in reductions of them. The subjects who have never measured their own blood pressures before recorded blood pressures three or four times a day for 36 days. The term was divided into six periods, that is, "Prac." (5 days for practice in measuring blood pressure), "Pre'' (5 days), "I" (7 days), ''II" (7 days), "III" (7 days) and ''Post" (5days). 1) Significant changes were observed in neither systolic nor diastolic blood pressure when the average blood pressure readings in all subjects were calculated for each period. 2) When the average blood pressure of each subject for the "Post" period was compared with that for the "Pre" period, significant reduction in systolic blood pressure was observed in 4 subjects and that in diastolic blood pressure in one subject. All of the subjects whose blood pressures reduced were out-patients. 3) The ability to estimate blood pressures was examined as to whether the difference between the estimated blood pressure before measuring and the measured blood pressure significantly decreased during self-monitoring. Although one subject could come to estimate more accurately his blood pressure (both in systolic and diastolic pressure values), no correlation was found between the blood pressure reduction and the improved estimation of their blood pressures. In this study, usefulness of home blood pressure self-measurement was shown because the significant fall in blood pressure, especially in systolic pressure, was observed in some patients with essential hypertension. Changes of behavior such as diet and drug compliance induced by increased attention to their blood pressure were supposed to lower the blood pressure.
