Antihypertensive medication adherence was 100% in 87.1% of newly diagnosed stage 1 hypertension patients over one year, with 90.9% reaching the target blood pressure goal.
Why the study?
Persistence and adherence are essential to reach hypertension treatment goals, prompting this evaluation of antihypertensive drug persistence in routine clinical settings.
Observational (n=77)
