Brief Summary:
The purpose of the ARTERY Outcomes study is to compare optima-for-blood pressure (optima4BP), a clinical decision support system for hypertension (HTN) treatment optimization to standard of care in patients with essential HTN.
Detailed Description:
Nearly 34 million Americans have their blood pressure (BP) uncontrolled. Hypertension (HTN) claims 1000 deaths every day. Despite medication and life-style management, the cost of HTN associated hospitalizations had escalated to $113 billion in 2016, or 15% of all hospital costs, with \>135 million Emergency Department (ED) visits.
Uncontrolled HTN for even a few weeks is associated with increased risk for acute cardiovascular (CVD) events \[stroke, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI)\] and death. Medication treatment optimization to BP goal reduces the incidence of stroke by 35-40%, HF by up to 64%, and MI by 15-25%.
optima-for-blood pressure \[optima4BP\] transforms the episodic and reactive nature of uncontrolled HTN pharmacological treatment management into a process that is continuous, proactive, and personalized. The innovation simulates the established clinical reasoning treatment decision process undertaken during a patient's visit.
