THE DYNAMIC OF THE INDICATORS OF BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION, INCLUDING DISTANCE METHODS
Abstract
Background and Aims
The aim of the study is to estimate the effectiveness of the distance monitoring of blood pressure (BP) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).
Methods
1121 patients with AH (SBP – systolic 151.4 ± 9.1, DBP -diastolic 96.9 ± 10.3) are included in the pilot project, of which 37% are men. The average age was 52.0 ± 12.0. The patients independently measured BP twice a day and entered the SBP and DBP results on self-control diaries in electronic form, or transmitted data from the tonometer via the installed mobile application.
Results
a survey of patients with AH showed that before the study, only 15.2% (171 people) carried out regular monitoring of BP. Reached by the results of 6 months, the average level of SBP and DBP were 135.5 ± 10.1 and 85.8 ± 6.3 mm Hg respectively. During the implementation of the pilot project, the proportion of people who achieved target BP values by 2.6 times increased, which occurred against the background of an increase of 1.7 times the frequency of prescribing two-component antihypertensive therapy, 1.9 times - a three-component one.
Conclusions
The use of up-to-dates methods of remote control of BP with BP monitors with the function of remote data transmission contributes to an increase in the frequency of prescribing combined antihypertensive therapy, which was accompanied by an increase in the proportion of patients who have reached target BP and reduced burden on emergency medical teams.
