Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) is witnessing rapid diffusion worldwide. Contemporary studies documented mainly short-term (6-12 months) effects of HBPT, and there are limited data about its uptake.

The aim of this study was to explore the 3-year use and determinants of HBPT, and the interactions with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) and overall blood pressure (BP) control rate.

Methods
