Blood pressure control among Veterans with high cardiovascular disease risk
In this group of Veterans with hypertension and high risk for CVD events, less than half had BP controlled to < 130/80 mmHg. Future studies should investigate strategies to improve BP control such as team-based care with home BP monitoring, education of clinicians on hypertension management, and increased utilization of automated office BP.
