Hypertension treatment advances to the Internet
A column cites 2004 data showing 44 million clinic and 1.5 million ER visits list hypertension as the primary diagnosis. It notes hypertension causes half of heart attacks and three quarters of strokes, with only about one third treated. A JAMA study by Jones and Peterson cites physician inertia and missing Healthy People 2010 goals as reasons for under treatment.

Internet tools boost hypertension care in two patient studies
Dr. Clark Gillespie reports on two programs for uncontrolled hypertension. One provides home blood pressure monitors and a clinician supported website, the other adds a clinical pharmacist. Year long results show continuation up to 36 percent in the first group and 56 percent in the second, with caveats about access and generalizability. The American Heart Association is developing a Blood Pressure Management Center to upload data from home.
