The background CV risk of Malaysia is much higher than that of developed countries in the west and in Asia. This high CV mortality is contributed by the high prevalence of CV risk factors especially hypertension which is very prevalent, coupled with low awareness and low control rates. This highlights the importance of home blood pressure measurements (HBPM). HBPM is an important adjunct in the management of hypertension, particularly to identify those unaware as well as white\u2010coat hypertension which is high in treated hypertensive patients in Malaysia. Ownership of HBPM devices in Malaysia is high, and this is an opportunity as well as timely to encourage more use of HBPM. The Malaysian national guidelines do not require HBPM for the diagnosis of hypertension but do recommend HBPM for specific situations. The most commonly prescribed anti\u2010hypertensives are calcium channel blockers, followed by renin\u2010angiotensin system blockers. Despite the wide availability of anti\u2010hypertensive agents, BP control rates remain low. It is important that strategies are in place to ensure that individuals are aware of the need to have their BP monitored regularly and this can be facilitated by the use of HBPM. Hence, there is a plan to develop a local HBPM consensus document. Strategies to reduce salt intake would also be beneficial. In summary, identification of those unaware and better control of BP with the help of HBPM would help reduce the burden of CV mortality and morbidity in Malaysia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.13721","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,6]],"date-time":"2019-11-06T15:45:37Z","timestamp":1573055137000},"page":"497-500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Asian management of hypertension: Current status, home blood pressure, and specific concerns in Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1995-0359","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yook\u2010Chin","family":"Chia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences School of Healthcare and Medical Sciences Sunway University Bandar Sunway Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8251-4480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazuomi","family":"Kario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Department of Medicine Jichi Medical University School of Medicine Tochigi Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41371-018-0082-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.13058"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.13415"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","first-page":"2031","article-title":"Antihypertensive prescribing pattern and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients over a ten year period in a primary care setting in Malaysia","volume":"10","author":"Chin CY","year":"2013","journal-title":"Life Sci J"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","unstructured":"National health and morbidity survey;2015.http:\/\/iku.moh.gov.my\/images\/IKU\/Document\/REPORT\/nhmsreport2015vol2.pdf.
