Why the study?

Does home monitoring and telemanagement improve blood pressure control in African Americans with uncontrolled hypertension?

Population

33 African Americans with uncontrolled blood pressures despite pharmacological treatment for ≥ 1 year.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

1-3 months

Discussion

Implication

Telemanagement-associated BP reductions in African Americans are hypothesis-generating; randomized trials needed before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does home monitoring and telemanagement improve blood pressure control in African Americans with uncontrolled hypertension?

Population

33 African Americans (age 51.5 ± 14.3, 70% female) with uncontrolled blood pressures despite pharmacological treatment for ≥ 1 year.

Intervention

Transtelephonic home blood pressure monitoring with daily transmission and telemanagement (phone-based patient education and medication titration per JNC-VI guidelines) for 1-3 months.

Outcome

Compliance with home blood pressure monitoring and blood pressure control within 1-3 months.surrogate

Home blood pressure monitoring combined with telemanagement significantly improves blood pressure control in African Americans with previously uncontrolled hypertension.
