Medication persistence to antihypertensive drug treatment - a cross-sectional study of attitudes towards hypertension and medication in persistent and non-persistent patients.

abstract：:Self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) at home is more common than 10 years ago and encouraged by current guidelines to increase patient adherence to treatment and reach the goal of target BP. The aims of this study are to evaluate the accuracy of home sphygmomanometers and to investigate behavior/knowledge of the sp...
