Key result
Home blood pressure telemonitoring and office monitoring both showed significant blood pressure decreases over 6 months (p < 0.000).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare home and office blood pressure monitoring for adjusting antihypertensive treatment.

Does home BP telemonitoring improve blood pressure control compared to office BP monitoring in hypertensive patients?
p-value: p=< 0.000
Home BP telemonitoring is an effective alternative to office BP monitoring for blood pressure assessment in hypertensive patients, particularly those with diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Home BP telemonitoring was associated with BP reductions comparable to office monitoring; leaves open superiority in randomized hypertensive cohorts.
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare home and office BP in the adjustment of antihypertensive treatment. Methods: This study was an open, prospective, noninterventional, multicenter clinical trial that occurred between July 2019 and February 2020, in 34 cities in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, which monitored 1581 participants for 6 months. Depending on the used blood pressure monitoring method used, all patients were divided into control (office BP monitoring) and experimental (home BP telemonitoring) groups. We collected anamnestic data and data about systolic blood pressure (SP), in mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DP), in mmHg, and heart rate (HR), in beats/minute, from all patients. Results: SP values were significantly different at baseline, and at the second, third, and fourth visits between the two tested groups. Home and office BP decreased significantly (p < 0.000) during the 6-month follow-up. We observed a statistically significant influence of the presence of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia on the dynamics of differences between SP monitoring values. Conclusions: Our study suggests that novel technologies in BP monitoring can be excellent alternatives for BP assessment in hypertensive patients with other cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Tasić et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Hypertension (n=1,581). Home BP telemonitoring vs. Office BP monitoring was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate (p=< 0.000). Home blood pressure telemonitoring and office monitoring both showed significant blood pressure decreases over 6 months (p < 0.000).
