Why the study?
Does electronic monitoring of drug compliance improve blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension?
Population
41 hypertensive patients resistant to a three-drug regimen, with an average baseline blood pressure of…

Cohort
Follow-up
up to 4 months
Key result
Electronic monitoring of drug compliance in patients with resistant hypertension significantly improved blood pressure at 2 months (from 156/106 to 145/97 mmHg, P<0.01).

Electronic monitoring was associated with BP improvement in resistant hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
Observational (n=41)
Does electronic monitoring of drug compliance improve blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension?
Electronic monitoring of drug compliance significantly improves blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension by unmasking non-compliance and guiding therapeutic decisions.
p-value: p=< 0.01
Burnier et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Resistant hypertension (n=41). Electronic monitoring of drug compliance vs. Baseline was evaluated on Blood pressure at 2 months (p=< 0.01). Electronic monitoring of drug compliance in patients with resistant hypertension significantly improved blood pressure at 2 months (from 156/106 to 145/97 mmHg, P<0.01).
