About this trial

The CHARGE-APP project will investigate whether an innovative management strategy of hypertension based on the combination of usual care visits and ESH CARE App compared to standard care, is associated with differences in outcome, including control rate of office, home and ambulatory BP, cardiovascular and renal intermediate end points at one year, and changes in a number of blood pressure-related variables throughout the study.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Male and female subjects;

Age 18-80 years;

Either the patient or another person close to him/her should possess a smartphone compatible with the ESH CARE app and be capable of using it;

Disqualifiers

eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI creatinine equation 2009);

Severe uncontrolled hypertension (i.e. BP ≥200/120 mmHg despite treatment);

Known secondary hypertension;

Orthostatic hypotension (SBP fall > 20 mmHg on standing);
