Why the study?
Most patients with HTN demonstrate low treatment adherence, creating a need to identify solutions and address the lack of publications on methods to improve long-term adherence.
What are the factors influencing adherence and methods to increase medical adherence in hypertensive patients?
What are the factors influencing adherence and methods to increase medical adherence in hypertensive patients?
This review highlights the importance of adherence management in hypertension and identifies a gap in evidence regarding long-term adherence interventions.
Do not assume short-term HTN adherence tools last; leaves open trials of durable strategies before practice change.
High medical adherence is a prerequisite for achieving goals in the treatment of hypertension (HTN). The majority of patients with HTN showed low adherence to treatment, which requires finding ways to solve this problem. This review describes the factors influencing adherence, ways of its assessment, and analyzes methods of increasing medical adherence in hypertensive patients. Noteworthy is the lack of publications describing the effectiveness of methods for increasing long-term (>2 years) adherence in hypertensive patients. The review also describes a not fully clear individualized approach, which consists in choosing a therapy regimen based on levels of medical adherence, medical follow-up and lifestyle modification.
