Helping manage hard-to-control hypertension in low-income patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help people with hard-to-control high blood pressure who get care at NYU Langone Family Health Centers in Brooklyn. It uses home blood pressure monitors, telehealth visits with a nurse, and text messages to help lower your numbers, with extra support from a community health worker if needed.
