Home BP monitoring (HBPM) is a useful tool for diagnosing and managing hypertension. The use of HBPM is recommended by the latest consensus from the Indonesian Society of Hypertension (2019), and nearly, all doctors recommend HBPM for hypertensive patients. However, the use of HBPM in Indonesia is limited by the cost of devices and a perception that these devices are unreliable. In addition, knowledge about proper procedures is lacking. Withdrawal of mercury sphygmomanometers from the end of 2018 is expected to encourage the use of digital sphygmomanometers and the implementation of HBPM. The most common antihypertensive agent used in Indonesia varies by patient age, being angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in those aged 40-60 years and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) in older patients. Across all age groups, combination therapy with a CCB plus an angiotensin receptor blocker was common (41%-42% of patients). The high prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia has an important economic impact, and approaches to increase awareness of the disease and adherence to therapy are needed, particularly given data showing the benefits of strict BP control.
