Cost-Effectiveness of Recommendations From the Surgeon General's Call-to-Action to Control Hypertension

Gabriel S. Tajeu et al.

Summary: The Surgeon General released a Call-to-Action in 2020 to address the high prevalence of hypertension and suboptimal rates of blood pressure control in the United States, which has an annual cost of $71 billion to the healthcare system. The review identified cost-effective strategies recommended in the Call-to-Action, such as promoting access to physical activity opportunities and healthy food options, standardized treatment approaches, and empowering patients for self-measured BP monitoring and medication adherence. Future research should focus on the cost-effectiveness of other guidelines and interventions to improve BP control.

Medication Adherence and Blood Pressure Control: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Niteesh K. Choudhry et al.

Summary: The widespread treatment of hypertension and improvements in blood pressure have led to a decline in heart disease and stroke, but there is still a gap between public health targets and actual blood pressure control rates. Medication nonadherence is a key factor contributing to this gap, and the scientific statement aims to summarize its impact and strategies for improving adherence.

Analysis of Therapeutic Inertia and Race and Ethnicity in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

Alexander R. Zheutlin et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the SPRINT trial and found that the prevalence of therapeutic inertia was similar or lower for non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic participants compared to non-Hispanic White participants. These findings suggest that a standardized approach to blood pressure management, as used in the SPRINT trial, may help ensure equitable care and reduce disparities in hypertension.

Hiroshi Gotanda et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on blood pressure outcomes among individuals with hypertension, with an increase in blood pressure and a decrease in the proportion of controlled blood pressure. Opportunities for telemedicine and home blood pressure monitoring may mitigate adverse impacts in future disasters/emergencies.

Summary: Hypertension is a global public health problem with unsatisfactory blood pressure control rates. Medication non-adherence is an underestimated modifiable risk factor associated with poor health outcomes. Evaluation of adherence is important for patients treated for hypertension.

The Impact of Telemedicine Visits on the Controlling High Blood Pressure Quality Measure During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Siqin Ye et al.

Summary: This study examines the association between telemedicine visits and blood pressure control quality measure. The results indicate that increased telemedicine visit use is associated with poor blood pressure control. However, telemedicine visit use may not negatively impact blood pressure control when blood pressure is recorded.

How Do We Jump-Start Self-measured Blood Pressure Monitoring in the United States? Addressing Barriers Beyond the Published Literature

Hilary K. Wall et al.

Summary: Hypertension is common in the United States and self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) is an evidence-based strategy for improving control. However, optimal use of SMBP faces barriers at both patient and system levels, and additional efforts are needed to overcome these barriers.

Summary: This study reveals that nearly 70% of US adults with hypertension were advised by healthcare professionals to use self-measured blood pressure monitoring, and approximately 61% reported using it. The majority of people chose to do SMBP monitoring at home, and over 80% shared their SMBP readings with healthcare professionals.
