Implication

Poor BP control persists among treated Japanese hypertensives; leaves open need for targeted interventions and prospective trials.

Key Points

To evaluate blood pressure control in home and clinic settings and determine factors influencing control, the white-coat effect, and diurnal variation among treated hypertensive individuals.
Assessed blood pressure management in primary care settings in Japan as part of the nationwide J-HOME evaluation.
Measured and compared self-recorded home blood pressure, office blood pressure, morning-to-evening blood pressure discrepancies, and home heart rates in treated patients.
Treated hypertensive patients showed inadequate rates of blood pressure control across both home and clinic measurements.
Analyses clarified key clinical factors influencing poor control, the magnitude of the white-coat effect, morning-evening blood pressure variation, and resting home heart rate.

Population

Treated hypertensive patients in primary care settings in Japan evaluated for home and office blood pressure control.

Outcome

Blood pressure control at home and in the officesurrogate

This study highlights that despite treatment, blood pressure control remains poor both at home and in the office among hypertensive patients in Japanese primary care settings.
