Although hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular (CVD) events in stage B heart failure (HF), data on the prognostic value of home blood pressure (BP) measurements in stage B HF are limited. We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 568 patients with stage B HF and at least one cardiovascular risk factor who underwent home BP monitoring. Stage B HF was defined as BNP ≥ 35 pg/mL or NT-proBNP ≥125 pg/mL, Troponin T >
0.014 ng/mL, LVEF <
50%, enlarged left ventricular dimensions in diastole (men: ≥60 mm
women: ≥54 mm), enlarged left atrium (men: >
40 mm
women: >
38 mm), or increased left ventricular mass (men: >
115 g/m
