Use of a blood pressure log is associated with improved blood pressure medication adherence in a predominately racial/ethnic minority sample
Pictorial logs were associated with bringing such logs to subsequent visits and for reduced diastolic BP. However, pictorial logs were not associated with improved BP control or adherence to antihypertensive medication but rather any log was associated with greater adherence to antihypertensive medication. We recommend the use of BP logs of any type for successful BP management.
