Comparison between first BpTRU reading and average BpTRU reading. A. Combined data for all patients, showing mean individual and average BpTRU systolic readings. ANOVA (repeated measures) showed a significant difference (P < 0.0001). Bonferroni’s multiple comparison post hoc test showed that the mean first BpTRU systolic measurement (± SD) (133.8 ± 22.5 mmHg) was significantly higher than the final average BpTRU systolic measurement (127.9 ± 19.0 mmHg; n = 91; P < 0.001). B. Combined data showing mean individual and average BpTRU diastolic readings. ANOVA (repeated measures) showed a significant difference (P < 0.0001); the subsequent Bonferroni’s post hoc test showed that the mean first BpTRU diastolic reading (81.2 ± 13.3 mmHg) was significantly higher than the final average BpTRU diastolic reading (80.2 ± 13.0 mmHg; n = 91; P < 0.001).
