Study type | Observational |
This study will test the feasibility of a home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) system in patients with minor stroke or TIA in the past year. The telemonitoring system will consist of a blood pressure machine and an online survey to submit blood pressure measurements. The investigators want to test whether patients can persistently use the telemonitoring system with ease and whether telephone instructions for blood pressure medications from the research nurse can be correctly understood. A secondary purpose of this study is to look at the effects of telemonitoring in blood pressure and stroke recurrence.

Inclusion Criteria: - Patients who had a minor stroke or TIA in the past year and seen at SPC. - Systolic hypertension at least 10 mm Hg above target, defined as any of: 1. A definite history of systolic hypertension before stroke as per CHEP (Canadian Hypertension Education Program) guidelines, or 2. Currently receiving antihypertensive medications, or 3. Any two documented SBP above 150 mm Hg (or above 140 mm Hg if diabetic) - either by history, on referral forms, or on an average of blood pressure measurements done during the patient's appointment at SPC - 18 years or older - Informed consent from patient or substitute decision-maker - Able to comprehend medication instructions over the phone in English, or has a caregiver able to do so. - If patient is unable to directly participate in the Telehealth intervention (e.g. severe aphasia, has English as a second language, modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) >4, a caregiver or family must be available to participate with the BP monitoring procedures and medication titration). Exclusion Criteria: - Patients admitted at long term care facilities or rehabilitation facilities (If admitted at rehabilitation facility, patient must be discharged prior to enrollment in the study) - Unable to comply with home blood pressure monitoring procedures for any other reason - Participation in other interventional (i.e., drug or device) clinical trials - Severe illness or another major illness that would affect ability to attend the study visits - Dialysis or diagnosis of end stage renal disease - Secondary hypertension (e.g. hypertension secondary to a known medical condition such as renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, etc.) - Life expectancy < 12 months |

Secondary | GP feedback on the Telehealth program | The participant's GP, if they have one, will be contacted with information regarding their patients' participation and the CHEP-guided management algorithm. The GP will receive a summary of the follow-up phone calls by the Telehealth nurse and notes from in-person follow-up study visits. We will ask GPs to inform us via fax or email after any patient follow-up visit and to additionally touch base if there are concerns about the current medication regimen or if changes are made. At the end of the study, GPs will receive an exit questionnaire regarding their experience in managing their patients during the telehealth program and inviting suggestions for future GP/community health engagement. | At the six-month (180 day) time point. We welcome feedback from the participant's GP during the 6 month study period. |
