Patient-Facing Clinical Decision Support for High Blood Pressure Control: Patient Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High blood pressure (HBP) affects nearly half of adults in the United States and is a major factor in heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and other morbidities. To reduce risk, guidelines for HBP contain more than 70 recommendations, including many related to patient behaviors, such as home monitoring and lifestyle changes.
