First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a structured phone call teaching patients about home blood pressure monitoring would increase the number of people who bring their blood pressure logs to doctor visits. 170 adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure took part. The goal was to see if this simple outreach helps doctors make better treatment decisions.
