Summary

This study tested a nurse-guided phone program for 500 recent stroke patients in Ghana to help them manage their blood pressure at home. The program included home blood pressure monitoring, medication reminders, and education on heart health. The goal was to see if this approach could improve long-term blood pressure control and reduce the risk of another stroke.
