Does self-monitoring of blood pressure lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension-related multi-morbidity?
Self-monitoring of blood pressure is effective for lowering BP in patients with hypertension-related multi-morbidity, though high-intensity co-interventions may be needed for specific conditions like obesity or stroke.
Self-monitoring lowers BP regardless of the number of hypertension-related co-morbidities, but may only be effective in conditions such obesity or stroke when combined with high-intensity co-interventions.
