Furthermore, it is important to identify what specific hypertensive populations (demographic characteristics and comorbidities) would benefit the most from self-monitoring of blood pressure and what outcomes (blood pressure control, adherence, cardiovascular outcomes) may be improved with self-monitoring of blood pressure. C. New Technology Future research on application of new technology in management of HTN should include incorporation of telemonitoring using smartphone applications and other technology to improve patients adherence to medications and enable communication with healthcare providers to maximize access to treatment. D. Interdisciplinary Approaches HTN treatment requires a complex approach combining prescription drug management, implementation of a healthy lifestyle and diet, and monitoring of adherence to these interventions. Therefore, high quality randomized trials are needed to evaluate cost-effectiveness and impact on patient-related clinical outcomes of protocolized nurse-led and pharmacist-led antihypertensive medication titration programs, and the role of registered dietitian-led interventions targeting healthy lifestyle changes and diet, and adherence monitoring for improving blood pressure control and patient-centered outcomes. E. Diet and Exercise Most of the evidence supports modest reduction in blood pressure with low sodium diets; however, clinical trials are needed to evaluate whether long-term cardiovascular outcomes can be also affected by low sodium diets, and whether it is the low sodium diet itself or low sodium intake as a part of an overall healthy dietary pattern which leads to improved clinical end-points. Despite general belief that a reduction in sedentary time results in lowering of blood pressure, there is a paucity of clinical data about optimal duration, frequency and specific type(s) of exercise that would result in improved patient outcomes. Clinical trials are required to address these research questions.
