LOINC description : Average (mean) Blood Pressure (systolic and diastolic) is the average of two or more
blood pressure (BP) readings in a specified time period or according to a specified
algorithm or protocol. During clinical encounters 2 or more BPs should be averaged
to more accurately assess a person's BP status. When patients are self-monitoring
blood pressure (SMBP), the American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 12 readings
collected over at least 3 days should be averaged to more accurately assess a person's
BP status (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HYP.0000000000000087, PMID: 30827125).
According to the European Society of Hypertension , The adverse cardiovascular consequences
of hypertension, including events and mortality, largely depend on increased average
BP values. Thus, decision-making in hypertension is based on average values of several
BP readings obtained in and out of the office (https://journals.lww.com/jhypertension/Fulltext/2021/07000/2021_European_Society_of_Hypertension_practice.5.aspx,
