title: [Assessment of educational benefits in 73 hypertensive patients by telephone survey at distance of HTA Vasc educational program].
abstract: HTA Vasc offers an approved educational program for hypertensive patients at high cardiovascular risk (CVR).
  
  
  METHODS
  A telephone survey (December 2011-July 2012) evaluated the benefits of different workshops "my treatment", "my blood pressure" and "my nutrition", more than 6 months after the end of the program. The follow-up data (TS) were compared to inclusion data (T0) and to final data (TF) in 73 hypertensive patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The follow-up period was 6 to 31 months. The number of hypertensive controlled patients [blood pressure (BP)<140/90 mmHg] increased from 55.4% to 75.4% (P=0.0158) in TF, which remained over time. The practice of physical activity increased from 47.9% (T0) to 79.5% (TS) (P=0.001). The follow-up period of 18 months or more was associated with a tendency to weight gain (P=0.0059) and with a decline in physical activity [89.7% (<18 months) to 67.5% (≥ 18 months) (P=0.0198)]. The practice of self-measurement BP increased from 41.1% (T0) to 71.2% (TS) (P<0.0001); knowledge of the "rule of three" increased from 6.8% (T0) to 74% (TS) (P<0.0001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An educational support contributes to a better long-term BP control. The motivation for lifestyle rules decreases with time. The implementation of a structured motivational follow-up could maintain the lifestyle motivation at these CVR patients.
