Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring versus self-measurement of blood pressure at home: correlation with target organ damage.

TL;DR: Home blood pressure was at least as well correlated with target organ damage, as was the ambulatory blood pressure, and home-ambulatory correlation and their correlation with organ damage argue in favor of different cut-offs, that are approximately 5 mmHg higher for systolic home blood pressure.

Drug-induced hypertension: an unappreciated cause of secondary hypertension.

TL;DR: A review of the therapeutic agents or chemical substances that elevate blood pressure and their mechanisms of action can be found in this paper, where a patient's drug regimen may identify chemically induced hypertension and obviate unnecessary evaluation.
