Home Blood Pressure Variability and Its Link to Arteriosclerosis and Metabolic Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients
Impact of Home and Clinical Blood Pressure Variability on Arteriosclerosis and Metabolic Indicators
Korea University Anam Hospital
4,188 participants

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This observational study investigates the correlation between home blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis, alongside metabolic indicators, in hypertensive patients over a three-year period. The research specifically focuses on the predictive value of home BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. Utilizing a mobile application called Healthscan for daily BP monitoring, the study aims to enhance the understanding of how BPV impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health in a real-world setting.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Adults aged 19 years or older.
- Diagnosed with hypertension.
- Regular use of antihypertensive medication for at least two years.
- Access to a home blood pressure monitor.
- Comprehensive medical records available for the past year.
Exclusion Criteria1
- \. Participants who are unable to consent or who might not reliably use the home monitoring app.
Interventions
Participants will use the Healthscan mobile application to monitor and record their daily blood pressure at home. The app allows participants to enter their BP measurements, which are then used to calculate blood pressure variability (BPV). The app's use is intended as a non-invasive, practical tool for patient self-management and longitudinal health monitoring in hypertensive individuals.
