Effect of five minute rest period on systolic BP. Bar graph showing the difference between routine clinic systolic and BpTRU systolic, with or without a 5 minute rest period prior to BpTRU measurements. ANOVA showed a significant overall difference (P < 0.0001); Bonferroni’s multiple comparison post hoc test showed significant differences between routine clinic systolic and BpTRU average systolic for both Group A (P < 0.001) and Group B (P < 0.001). The mean systolic BpTRU readings were not significantly different between Group A and Group B (P > 0.05).
