View clinical trials related to Home Blood Pressure Measurement.
Filter by:The diagnosis and control of hypertension depend on accurate measurements of blood pressure (BP); alternative approaches to measuring BP, such as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home blood-pressure self-measurement (HBPM), are gaining increasing acceptance in the diagnosis of hypertension and the monitoring of hypertensive patients.To achieve accurate BP measurements at home, measurement guidelines must be closely followed. However, previous studies have shown that patient compliance is in most cases unsatisfactory.The study aims at evaluating the efficacy of a family nurse (FN)-led home blood pressure management (HBPM) training program in improving BP control based on a comparison with routine care and management.
Home blood pressure measurement has been reported to be associated with better clinic blood pressure and daytime blood pressure control. However, no study has evaluated the association between home blood pressure measurement and control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in real world practice. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the control of ambulatory blood pressure in the real world. The detailed purposes of the present study are (1) to investigate the effects of home blood pressure measurement on the appropriate control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive drug, (2) to evaluate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the occurrence of cardiovascular events and target organ damage, (3) to investigate the status and appropriateness of home blood pressure measurement in the real world, and (4) to investigate factors of home blood pressure measurement methods affecting the treatment of hypertension.
