Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted. This volume presents the available evidence on home blood pressure monitoring, discusses its strengths and limitations, and presents strategies for its optimal implementation in clinical practice. Written by distinguished international experts, it offers a complete source of information and guide for practitioners and researchers dealing with the management of hypertension.

This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High blood pressure (BP), or hypertension, is a common, long-term health condition, particularly among older adults. Untreated or ineffectively treated hypertension leads to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and increased consumption of health care resources, thus levying high human and financial costs to society. In adults, hypertension is defined as a persistently elevated BP equal to or greater than 140/90 mmHg. In children, the diagnosis is made from an average of three or more BP readings greater than the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height. The Seventh Joint National Committee (JNC 7) guideline recommends a BP goal of 140/90 mmHg or less in the general population and a lower threshold of 130/80 mmHg or less in patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. The World Health Report 2002 estimates that over 1 billion people have high BP and that hypertension is responsible for 4.5 percent of the global disease burden. Within the U.S., about 76.4 million adults are affected. Despite improvements in the quality of health care and life expectancy, it is expected that the prevalence of hypertension will continue to rise worldwide. The World Health Organization ranks high BP as the third highest risk factor for burden of disease, highlighting the contribution of hypertension directly and indirectly to the development of numerous diseases. Hypertension has been identified as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and is an important modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. High BP directly results in 7 million deaths every year. Effective management of BP has been shown to dramatically decrease the incidence of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure. However, hypertension is usually a lifelong condition, and long-term adherence to lifestyle modification and medication treatment remains a challenge in the management of hypertension. Thus an increasing focus has been placed on developing strategies that can improve adherence and result in satisfactory BP control with the goal of improving health outcomes for hypertensive patients. One such proposed method is self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring. SMBP refers to the regular self-measurement of a patient's BP at home or elsewhere outside the office or clinic setting. However, while patient self-participation in chronic disease management appears promising, the sustainability and clinical impact of this strategy remain uncertain. The primary objective of this review is to evaluate whether the use of SMBP monitoring influences outcomes in adults and children with hypertension, and to what extent these changes in outcomes can be attributable to the use of self-monitoring devices alone or the use of SMBP plus additional support or attention. The intention of this report is to inform physicians' decisionmaking as to whether to encourage the use of SMBP monitoring alone or along with additional support, and to assist health care policymakers and payers with decisions regarding coverage and promotion of SMBP monitoring. Key Questions include: 1. In people with hypertension (adults and children), does self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring, compared with usual care or other interventions without SMBP, have an effect on clinically important outcomes? 2. In trials of SMBP monitoring, how do clinical, surrogate, and intermediate outcomes (including SMBP monitoring adherence) vary by the type of additional support provided? 3. How do different devices for SMBP monitoring compare with each other (specifically semiautomatic or automatic vs. manual) in their effects on clinical, surrogate, and intermediate outcomes (including SMBP monitoring adherence)? 4. In trials of SMBP monitoring, how does achieving BP control relate to clinical and surrogate outcomes? 5. How does adherence with SMBP monitoring vary by patient factors?

This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, affecting nearly one in three Americans. It is prevalent in adults and endemic in the older adult population. Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and disability. Although there is a simple test to diagnose hypertension and relatively inexpensive drugs to treat it, the disease is often undiagnosed and uncontrolled. A Population-Based Policy and Systems Change Approach to the Prevention and Control Hypertension identifies a small set of high-priority areas in which public health officials can focus their efforts to accelerate progress in hypertension reduction and control. It offers several recommendations that embody a population-based approach grounded in the principles of measurement, system change, and accountability. The recommendations are designed to shift current hypertension reduction strategies from an individual-based approach to a population-based approach. They are also designed to improve the quality of care provided to individuals with hypertension and to strengthen the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's leadership in seeking a reduction in the sodium intake in the American diet to meet dietary guidelines. The book is an important resource for federal public health officials and organizations, especially the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as medical professionals and community health workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABPM devices are considered in general to be safe and accurate for obtaining multiple blood pressures away from the physician's office or clinic. Caution should be exercised and the risk-benefit ratio weighed if use is contemplated in a patient with a history of or a predisposition to thrombophlebitis. The primary clinical situation in which ABPM is advocated, is the patient Who is suspected of having office BP measurements not representative of the BP readings outside the office environment. While the workshop recommendations provide guidelines as to areas and clinical circumstanses in which ABPM might ultimately prove useful, data are lacking that would validate those assertions or otherwise demonstrate the optimal role of or the ultimate benefits to be expected in the clinical setting.

This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Pressure Monitoring in Cardiovascular Medicine and Therapeutics provides information that will be especially useful to all who care for hyperten sive patients. The various chapters provide a full account of the mounting sci entific evidence that blood pressure recordings need to be obtained for proper diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy for these patients. The contributors are each directly involved in clinical studies ofhome and ambulatory blood pressure moni toring, as well as of the relationship of circadian variations in heart rate and blood pressure to cardiovascular events. As a longtime observer of the multiple facets of clinical hypertension, I have been greatly impressed with the rapid advances in this area over the last two decades. Out-of-office blood pressure monitoring has grown from a curi osity to a necessity. In order to improve the currently inadequate control of hypertension throughout the world, such monitoring should become routine in the diagnosis and treatment of every patient. The evidence for the role of out-of-office monitoring that is so well described in Blood Pressure Monitoring in Cardiovascular Medicine and Therapeutics should serve as a stimulus for the more widespread adoption of the procedure. Once this is understood, the constraints on the broader clinical use of ambulatory monitoring that now exist in the United States will be lifted as the value of such information becomes more generally recognized. In the meantime, self-recorded home measurements should be more widely utilized.

Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Hypertension is an important public health issue. Self Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring (SMBP), the self measurement of blood pressure (BP) outside of the health care setting may be an effective tool to facilitate BP control. PURPOSE: Generate prioritized topics for future research on SMBP, building on evidence gaps identified in a prior comparative effectiveness review and following an explicit a stakeholder-driven nomination and prioritization process. METHODS: Building on evidence gaps identified in a previous CER on SMBP, a preliminary list of future research needs (FRN) was supplemented and refined through input from stakeholders. Stakeholders were asked to indicate their top five priority topics considering the following dimensions in prioritization: (1) importance, (2) desirability of research/avoidance of unnecessary duplication, (3) feasibility, and (4) potential impact. The five topics with the highest number of stakeholder endorsements were identified as the prioritized FRN topics. FUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS TOPICS: Four priority topics pertain to interrelated evidence gaps such as the lack of longer term studies which show persistence of BP control or clinical benefit from SMBP, uncertainty regarding who is likely to benefit from SMBP, lack of standardization in prescription of SMBP, and uncertainty regarding the most effective additional support. The fifth topic relates to the inability to assess cost-effectiveness of SMBP, due to the deficiencies in evidence identified in the first four gaps. To address these gaps, longer term randomized controlled trials are needed to examine clinical outcomes; exploration of treatment heterogeneity may identify those groups more likely to benefit from SMPB. Different prescriptions of SMBP should be compared in trials examining SMBP adherence and BP control. Additional support that shows promise for future study should be further refined by expert panels. Filling these evidence gaps will inform future modeling of cost-effectiveness.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: High blood pressure, or hypertension, is an increasing issue among adults in the United States. With about half the adult population in the United States having hypertension, the risks of related events and fatalities continue to increase. Patients with high blood pressure only during the office visit, also called white coat hypertension, are often diagnosed and treated without considering their blood pressure readings outside the office setting. Masked hypertension or high blood pressure outside the clinical setting is also overseen. The lack of treatment can lead to chronic complications and death. Inadequate diagnosing and treatment have contributed to the increase of uncontrolled hypertensive adults. The lack of knowlege of evidence-based tools and resources can drastically affect patient care and increase healhcare costs. Purpose: This evidence-based project aims to advance the knowledge of healthcare providers and patients by implementing a self-measured blood pressure program to help patients improve their blood pressure (BP) readings, self-management behaviors, and medication adherence. The frameworks used to guide the project was the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model (JHNEBPM) and Kurt Lewin's Theory of Change. Methods: An educational in-service was provided to the provider team. The in-service included teaching on self-measure blood pressure (SMBP), BP measurement, logging, measurement frequency, BP cuff sizing, and completing the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale (HB-HBP). Providers implemented the program by instructing patients on SMBP, completing pre-and post-intervention HB-HBP, and returning the BP logs for evaluation. The intervention would be considered successful if post-SMBP blood pressure readings decreased and HB-HBP scores improved significantly. Results: Ten patients were eligible and qualified based on previous blood pressure readings over 140/90. Each patient measured their BP twice in the morning (AM) and twice in the evening (PM) for seven days and kept a log. Each patient also completed an HB-HBP scale pre and post-intervention. A series of ANOVA tests were conducted for each day to compare week 1 and week 2 for trend changes. Overall, there was a slight decrease in most mean BP readings, but the change was too small to be significant. A t-test was used to assess the differences between mean scores before and after the intervention. An examination of the subscales demonstrated that two of the three subscales had significant improvement. Patient knowledge about reducing sodium was not significant, where the importance of keeping appointments was significant as was taking medication. Conclusion: High blood pressure is commonly undertreated and underdiagnosed due to its asymptomatic nature. High blood pressure can result in kidney damage, stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and aneurysms, among other issues. SMBP was not significant in decreasing blood pressure or decreasing but was very significant in improving patient medication compliance and appointment keeping. Suggested future recommendations for SMBP are to implement the intervention for a more extended period and automatize blood pressure by having BP monitors that automatically collect BP readings and send them to providers.
