Summary

This trial is testing whether home blood pressure measurements are as accurate as the standard method for diagnosing high blood pressure in teens, who are at higher risk for the condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American teens without a prior hypertension diagnosis, no history of organ transplant, not on stimulants or blood pressure meds, and no congenital heart disease. It aims to find better ways to diagnose high blood pressure in this group.
What is being tested?
The study compares home blood pressure monitoring with the gold standard 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) to see which is more effective at diagnosing high blood pressure in African American teens.
What are the potential side effects?
There are generally no side effects associated with using home or 24-hour blood pressure machines. However, some individuals might experience discomfort from wearing the ABPM device continuously.
