... ensure at least 5 minutes of quiet rest before measurements. [source]

In my experience, I don't recall ever seeing this done. Assuming my perception is correct, are the (many) risks associated with hypertension based on blood pressure as it is actually measured (ie, without a significant 'quiet rest', IME), or are these only associated with those whose pressure is high when measured after such rest?
