[Self-control of blood pressure for the purpose of increasing the effectiveness of ambulatory treatment of arterial hypertension].
A method of blood pressure self-control was used in a random sample of males aged 40-59, with persistently increased BP (greater than or equal to 160/95 mmHg at two visits), as identified by an epidemiologic study. Daily BP self-control exercised for 2-5 weeks as supplementary to conventional hypotensive treatment (hypothiazide and clophelin) contributed to the recovery of normal BP values within 4.57 +/- 0.69 days, on the average. After one year of such practice, the efficiency of treatment reached 46.8%, as compared to the 20% in the control group, while the disability rate decreased. Indications have been developed for out-patient application of the self-control techniques.
