Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of study was a comparison between self blood pressure \(BP\) measurement and telemonitoring system efficacy in evaluation of antihypertensive treatment, correlation with cardiovascular \(CV\) risk and influence on quality of life \(QoL\). We randomized 80 patients with primary 1 or 2 grade hypertension \(mean age\: 51,3±9.8 yrs.\)\: 40 to telemonitoring group \(TELE\) \(mean age\: 50.1±9.6 yrs.\) and 40 to self home BP measurement group \(SDOM\) \(mean age\: 52.5±10.0 yrs.\). The CV risk was calculated in EuroSCORE scale. In SDOM group BP measurements were performed by OMRON M5\-I device. In TELE group we applied telemonitoring system of BP \(TensioCare\).Treatment regime in groups was the same. On each visit \(after 1, 4, 7, 10 month\) was performed ABPM. On first and last visit patients filled the PGWB form for assessment QoL. Reduction in BP was observed in groups in office, home \(TELE\: \-8,5\/\-4,6 mmHg, SDOM\: \-8,6\/\-3,2 mmHg, p<0,05\) and ABPM \(TELE\: \-15,0\/\-8,5 mmHg, SDOM\: \-14,0\/\-6,6 mmHg, p<0,05\) measurements. ANOVA analysis didn’t showed any BP difference between groups. Home DBP in TELE was significant lower than in SDOM. SBP in TELE was in significant correlation with EuroSCORE value \(r=0.57\; p<0,05\). QoL increased significant in whole group \(index PGWB from 88,8±15,5 to 93,1±14,2 points, p<0,05\), but in each group separately QoL not increased significant. In regression analysis QoL improve"]
