Another way to read this:
With standing readings, one is more likely to have a higher reading, one is more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension, and thus more people prescribed statins.
statins = $tatins
Except statins are not a primary drug used for treating high blood pressure. They are also now all available as generics so not a big profit potential.
And a variety of other meds.
I take my BP at home.
At home it’s normal.
At the doc’s, not so much.
Guess which reading I trust.
