Key result
The intelligent hypertension excellence centers (iHEC) therapy model significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.2 mmHg compared to conventional treatment in older hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Intelligent hypertension excellence centers (iHEC) may improve blood pressure management in older hypertensive patients, but this had not yet been rigorously evaluated.

Population
540 older patients with hypertension
Comparison
iHEC therapy model vs conventional treatment with clinic visits
Design
Prospective randomized open-label clinical trial
Follow-up
12 months

iHEC was associated with better BP control in older patients; leaves open whether this model improves outcomes in routine practice.

An intelligent remote blood pressure management model significantly improved BP control and reduced excessive BP lowering in older hypertensive patients compared to conventional clinic-based care.
Jiang et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in Hypertension (n=540). Intelligent hypertension excellence centers (iHEC) therapy model vs. Conventional treatment was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 12 months (MD 4.2 mmHg, 95% CI 2.0 to 6.4, p=<0.001). The intelligent hypertension excellence centers (iHEC) therapy model significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.2 mmHg compared to conventional treatment in older hypertensive patients.
