Home Blood Pressure Study for Recent Stroke Survivors With High Blood Pressure *On Hold Due to Global Pandemic*
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Ischemic Stroke, Hypertension
In brief
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of implementing a home blood pressure self-management program in a population of recent stroke survivors in the Washington, D.C. area. The investigators hypothesize that hypertensive stroke survivors in the Washington, DC area who participate in the Home Blood Pressure Monitoring program will have a greater reduction in mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 3 months, as measured by automated office blood pressure (AOBP), as compared to usual care.
