Abstract
Background: The prevalence of hypertension is around 30-45% among the general population. Hypertension contributes to 1 out of 7 deaths in the United States and approximately 70% of persons who have a first heart attack or stroke. Timely treatment and optimal management of hypertension is associated with substantial reductions in stroke incidence (35-40%), myocardial infarction (20-25%), and heart failure (>50%). Additionally, remote monitoring with active intervention by medical professionals (telemonitoring) improves drug compliance and increase the target blood pressure (BP) achievement rate.
Highlights
The prevalence of hypertension is around 30-45% among the general population
The primary outcome was the impact of BP Connect on blood pressure as measured by the change in the proportion of patients with controlled BP from the initial visit to the 3-month clinic visit
Secondary outcomes included the change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at close-out
