title: [Compliance of the hypertensive patient in medical practice--analysis of an observation study. 2].
abstract: In a subgroup of 301 hypertensive patients out of the user--observation study ("Anwendungsbeobachtung") with Renitec und CO-Renitec we studied which compliance-improving methods are effective. We tested the effects of blood pressure self-measurement and of an exclusive conversation with the patients. It could be shown, at least in our approach, that the conversation with the patient resulted in a lighter efficacy than blood pressure self-measurement: > 80% compliance was found in 80% of the patients, compared with only 40% of the patients with standard care.
