Key result
Antihypertensive treatment based on telemonitoring of home BP was as effective as usual office monitoring for reducing systolic daytime ABPM (mean difference -2.3 mmHg; 95% CI -6.1 to -1.5; p=0.225).
Why the study?
Does antihypertensive treatment based on telemonitoring of home BP improve systolic daytime ABPM compared to conventional office BP monitoring in hypertensive patients?
RCT (n=236)
randomized
Does antihypertensive treatment based on telemonitoring of home BP improve systolic daytime ABPM compared to conventional office BP monitoring in hypertensive patients?
Effect estimate: mean difference -2.3 (95% CI -6.1 to -1.5)
Absolute Event Rate: -11.9% vs -9.6%
p-value: p=0.225
Telemonitoring of home blood pressure is as effective as conventional office-based monitoring for reducing daytime ambulatory blood pressure over 6 months.

Telemonitoring of home BP matches office monitoring for systolic ABPM reduction; confirms remote titration as a reliable alternative in hypertension care.
Madsen et al. (2008) conducted an RCT in Hypertension (n=236). Telemonitoring of home blood pressure vs. Conventional monitoring of office blood pressure was evaluated on Difference in systolic daytime ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) change between baseline and 6 months (mean difference -2.3, 95% CI -6.1 to -1.5, p=0.225). Antihypertensive treatment based on telemonitoring of home BP was as effective as usual office monitoring for reducing systolic daytime ABPM (mean difference -2.3 mmHg; 95% CI -6.1 to -1.5; p=0.225).
