Abstract

Objective: The current clinical evidence for effects of Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring (HBPT) on improving blood pressure control comes entirely from developed countries. Thus, we performed this randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether HBPT plus support (patient education and clinician remote hypertension management), better improves blood pressure control than Usual Care (UC) in Chinese population. Methods: We recruited 190 patients randomized to HBPT plus support or UC groups for 12 weeks. The primary end points were blood pressure reduction and proportion of patients achieving the target blood pressure. Results: Totally, 172 patients completed the study. Patients in plus support group attained greater reduction of mean ambulatory blood pressure than those in UC group. The plus support group had a significantly higher proportion of patients who achieved the target blood pressure and maintained the dipper blood pressure pattern at the 12th week of follow-up. Additionally, the patients in plus support group showed lower blood pressure variability and higher drug adherence than those in UC group. Conclusion: HBPT plus additional support results in greater blood pressure reductions, better blood pressure control, and higher proportion of dipper blood pressure pattern, lower blood pressure variability, and higher drug adherence than UC.
