Long-term blood pressure control assessment using time spent in therapeutic range among Saudi patients.
According to the 2017 American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines, about three-quarters of the patients presented with TTR < 50% among the screened Saudi cohort. The results of this study may raise concerns about clinicians' adherence to the updated HTN management guidelines and patients' compliance with their treatment plans. This underscores the urgent need to improve HTN management and TTR attainment among Saudi patients.
