Advanced Practice Nurse Intervention Versus Usual Care for Hypertension Control: A Pilot Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of a clinical trial to evaluate the impact of an advanced practice nurse (APN) intervention on blood pressure (BP) control versus usual care in hypertension management, and to provide initial trends.
