  Background and objectives: Self-measurement of blood pressure can be associated with a better control of blood pressure. The objectives of this study were to determine the degree of control with two measuring methods (clinical blood pressure measure and self-measurement of blood pressure) and determine the factors associated with poor control. Methods: Multicenter randomized cross-sectional Study in Hypertensive patients diagnosed and treated at Primary Care. Recollected data included: socio-demographic profiles, personal history, standard blood tests and arterial pressure measure by self-measurement of blood pressure and clinical blood pressure measure. Control objectives included for self-measurement of blood pressure (<135/85 mmHg) and for clinical blood pressure measure (<140/90 mmHg). Data are expressed in percentages and averages.. View More»
